Default Ride in an F/A 18 Hornet

Now for a pleasant ride in a Blue Angel Hornet.

A publicity flight with the NAVY's Blue Angels:

This is great! You have to click on each "Scene" at the left of the page to watch the 5 different scenes! Don't just watch the 1st and think that it is over!

Ride in an F/A 18 Hornet

Make sure and click on all 5 Scenes. What a Ride!!!

Make sure your sound is on.

Be sure to watch all of the 'scenes' especially scene 2'. You have to click on each photo at the left to watch the next scene.

Great clips barb1191. I was a pilot many many years ago so it brought back lots of memories. I had a new copilot who had partied a little to much the night before pass out on me when we did a vertical roll and came over the top upside down one time so I can only guess how Steve felt.

Just have to share this with you as it struck me as hilarious.

My thirteen yr old great-grandson Kyle's email response to me re this ride in an F/A 18 Hornet clip was....

"wow that looked really scary and i wish i could do that because i have never passed out before."

He's a great boy with such a dry wit. .....barb

Suspect he was not wearing a G suit. If so, he was set-up to pass out.

Default G Suit Squeezes Your Lower Body

G Suit will compress the lower body to prevent blood loss to the brain. And yes I'd suspect he had a G suit on or he wouldn't have been in the back seat. Kinda like the rules ya know. Our back seaters used to receive a plaque if they made it thru 9 G's. This pilot had kicked in the afterburners and made a hard left turn. Say goodnight David. ZZZZ
