Was long ago, wasn't allowed to take FAST, as didn't have the vision, and LASIK was just a study then. Pilots now allowed in under the LASIK program. Timing... And one strange thing. A Major, and Captain flying, is the norm. I also noticed ssgt on a jet, and that's a Staff Sergeant. Are NCO's now allowed to fly in the USAF?
Never seen that before. Of course, know nothing about the USAF, besides they're cutting edge, death from above, and do live well.
^ There's a "SRA" below the SSgt, and in USAF believe that's Senior Airman. And can't help watch that clip a few times. What a feeling that would be to actually get to go for a spin in one of those, F16, F18, etc., Wow! Wish I had at least been with an air wing so I could have at least been around these sky Ferraris, vs a mile under them. Hearing them was a damn good thing, and the sound they leave behind...wow! Great clip! What a life being able to do that! And new Fox News gal is anchoring, who was once a USN pilot. And she's hot too! Damn!:eek: Btw, how's your jet project Luke? Would love to see a go pro in flight of that!
I spend so much time baby sitting my granddaughter it's barely moving at all. She starts school full time next year though. Then it will be full speed ahead. I do have a fairly Representative X-Plane model of it completed. As much as it can to begin with. It confirms original performance estimates, stability and control. Even with a full load of fuel it will go from a standing start on the runway to 10,000' in just under 4 minutes. Roll rate at maneuvering speed is at least 360 deg per second. At that same speed it can exceed 9 G's for brief periods.
