I think he did better than I would have done.  Without proper training and gear I think we all would have done the same.  But, that has to be a thrill to ride a Blue Angel jet.  DOC Holliday

Man! What a lucky guy. I'd love a ride in a modern military jet. I've had rides in an AT-6, a B-17, a P-51, and the Goodyear blimp. But nothing with that kind of power. VD~

This was great to watch!!! The fellow I roomed with in college later married and his son was one of the BA pilots. The last time I visited him, we sat in the living room and watched tape after tape. His son had made them during practices and performances. I still regret the last time one of the B-17's was here in Lake Charles and I didn't go up. It was $300 for the nose position. Funny how money is always relative to accessability. I have made other $300 purchases, but can't recall some of the reasons why, now.  I think I would have remembered that one.

I think I would vote negative on gum chewing when in pass-out mode.   %^@
