I wanna be a fighter pilot

This is some sweet footage. I wanna fly those planes!

Video here its formated for Quicktime



I got to ride in an F-16 when I was stationed at Cannon AFB, NM. Here is a pick I took of myself right before take off. Honestly, that was probably the most intense hour and 45 minutes of my life. I slept, or should I say hibernated, for 14 hours after that flight was over. It was definitely a kick ass ride!

Yea I am sure the force is tremendous.

But it still would be cool. You know 1 sec before you hit the ground punch out. Like that dude in the F-16 that crashed. That was cool.

Personally I think I could get enough jollies up in the air. Just flying around at the speed of sound.

I wouldn't need to scream at the earth at over 500mps just to punch out. Trying to save my life while breaking my body and destorying a multi million dollar piece of equipment. Just to get off on it.

Yeah, at that point it is just a skydive you have no control over anyway.

LOL

Damn every one got serious.
Yes I would like that too.
But you know I am thinking after I shoot down the Aliens, destroy the mother ship, and kill them all one of their rockets would hit me...................oh wait that was a movie.:P

I'm not a pilot. They give out rides to people that win quarterly and annual awards. I won a few of both and was given the opportunity to ride in one of the F-16's. I also got to ride in an F-111, KC-135 (refueler), C-5, and a blackhawk.

The F-16 ride was just insane. Honestly, it's like being strapped to the nose of a bullet that you can control. SICK!

dude, they counted your ride in a c-5 as an "incentive" ride???? i'v only riddenin the passengercompartment abouve the cargo bay but it sucked......... now the f-16, that was a fun ride..... much funer to ride in them than work on them for 12 hours shift 6 days a week......... the kc-10 i've ridden on was pretty comfy... only problem was wheni got off of it they told us about 9/11..... we were over the atlantic whenit all went down..
