Wish I could man! It's the most fun you can have with your clothes on :naughty:
But I'll tell ya...everyone I've seen get a ride that's never done hi-performance jets has gotten...ummm lets say...a little nauseous. Actually that's a lie...they usually fill up a couple of bags

Would it be more fun if I did it naked?
I had a video somewhere of a guy flying with the Blue Angels and they go to 7.5 G's and the guy passes out at like 7.
Im pretty good at keeping my lunch but then again Ive never been in something that can do stuff like that.

I live a few miles from Travis AFB so we get airshows fairly often. Ive seen both the Blue Angels and the Thunderbirds fly and they are awesome.

Yeah...that's a good video...pretty accurate too. The other "side effect" for a noob like that is passing out from the G's...they give you a quick training course on it, but it happens just about every time.
Flying naked remined me...a F-16 crashed in west TX because the pilot unstrapped the seat belt to take a wiz in a piddle pack. The buckle got stuck between the side stick (it only moves 1/4") and the seat...when he moved the seat up, it commanded full aileron causing the airplane to roll at full rate...540 deg a second. He punched out and came floating down with his package dangling in the breeze...it would be pretty damn funny if it wasn't so stupid.

Oh man...I remember that soooo well. I went through the centrifuge at Holloman AFB...the last profile in that thing took me up to 9.0 G (the best these guys did was 5.5-6.0). You should see my tape...pretty damn funny too. The capillarity's in my butt and upper back of my legs popped, making my backside one big bruise!
LOL...you guys just want to see me suffer :icon_bigg
It's on a VHS tape...donno if I have the technology to convert it.

Yes, we want to see you suffer :evil2:
Take it to a kinkos or a 1 hour photo place or something and get them to transfer it to CD/DVD for you.

I think we should take a road trip. I can go see jdub suffer, he can take us out in a jet and I can go bother Meggs.

JDub: A few years back I did 30 mins aerobatic in a P51D and no way known would I hold my hand up for time in a modern Jet!
I would hold my hand up for a ride in your car IJ. Seems thats about as close to a jet as Im gonna get.

Wow!!! I would absolutely love to get a ride in a P-51...IJ that was a once in a lifetime event man!
Bet ya could just feel the raw power of that Merlin
My father-in-law was in the Army during the Korean war and they were still using P-51's for close air support assisting the Army. He told me a P-51 coming over low and fast sounded like a grizzly bear was on top of ya about to take you apart!
13: Anytime you're in the neighbourhood and it's running I'd be happy to take you for a drive!
Dub: It was a blast they'd just got it back from a major overhaul and my pilot was ex RAAF Roulette (our version of the BA's).
At the start of the flight I told them "here's some extra $$$ I don't care if it = more time or more full throttle" He didn't disapoint!

Im gonna take you up on that IJ. Maybe Ill take a flight that passes through AU on my way to JP next year even if it costs a little extra.
