Flying tactical jets is something you can't imagine. This video is purely visual. Most of my flying was in heavy old navy twin engine aircraft. Lots of torque and slow response. My one ride in an A-4 was truly unforgettable. The seat-of-pants sensations are so smooth and precise. Jet cockpit sounds are soothe variable vibrations.

OK, given that knowledge, my respect for Blue Angel pilots is limitless. Inverted formations 10 feet off the deck!! Nerves of steel and trusty wingmen/women!! Hot stuff! Back in my day we all hung out together in P'Cola down a Trader John's or Dirty Joe's on the beach. Glad we survived.

Oh my yes. Life long dream of mine, to head out in something really fast and fun, with a pilot at the controls who can’t believe they PAY him to fly :) A TomCat would be nice ; }

And P’cola, well, I was literally, just a kid, but would not trade my childhood growing up on military bases for anything. And I still hold that there are NO better sopapillas on the planet, than the ones I messily consumed at Della’s. Mind you, this is from a kid who lived in Albuquerque too, lol :)

I am certainly glad you survived too, my FRiend, and that we met here on FR, so we could share such good memories.

May God bless!
