Re: More Aircraft
Very cool but what a lightweight! (just kidding)
Been there, done that and it is NOT as easy as it looks.

Re: More Aircraft
Last I heard you could book a flight on an F-14 for about $20k and/or an SU-37 for $11.5k, seriously!

Re: More Aircraft
Rick,I have a pretty good stomach for stuff like that,but I would probably do the passout thing also.Many hours of training condition a pilot for that kind of punishment to the body.My hats off to them.Still looks like alot of fun!!!

Re: More Aircraft
back in the day before the FAA started cracking down...they would fly between the two tallest buildings in downtown Seattle..I have great pics of the guys saluting us as they would go by, they would dog fight around the blds for fun...I have some really good pics somewhere...talk about get pumped up!!!
they dug or bld as it was on the outside of town and they would use it as a turning point to set up for a pass... nothing like the smell of jet fuel, man they used to get really close to us like a 100yds, one cat came straight at us one time, keep in mind we are 63 stories up...at the last second he pulls up and goes straight up from us and I mean just about outa sight. reverses direction and comes back down and straight away from us, I swear he was on the exact trail up and down to the inch!!! and the jet wash was very strong you had to grab something or you were going down, now that guy could fly!!! I think I am going this year as my buddy is Chief may be able to get some pics, but they dont fly by tight like they used to...
