Title: Just got a ride!

In a F-15D, tagging along while they did some 4 v 4 training.  Only pulled 6 Gs at the most, but that's still more than enough to give you an appreciation for what your virtual pilot must feel every time you pull to the point of blackout.  They didn't really have G suits back then.

Rip, I'm in the holding pattern at the moment until my pilot training date in August.  Working as an exec for the commander of a 15 squadron.  

hawk, sadly, the live firing practice was earlier this week, they're back to loading dummy missiles on the jets for practice.  Still, one of the coolest things I've done yet...
