Thanks for sharing those thoughts DarDys,While I never did the fighter jet thing, it had to be a rush.


The plane was flown over Afghanastan by the USSR as a recon. The guys that bought it were retired Navy fighter pilot instructors.

Since it had two sets of controls, he would demonstrate a move and if you didn't puke (which luckiliy I didn't)!you got to do the move.

There were a few rules though -- nothing over 500 knots, nothing closer to the ocean that 200 feet, and don't go outside the territorial water bouys because the aircraft return signal is still Soviet and we didn't need jets from Key West or Homestead to come see what we were.

Did inside loops, flew straight up from 1000 to 5000, rolled it, and flew upside down until the alarms sounded.

Didn't eat or drink for the rest of the day due to burping air.

The balloon was a tad more peaceful.
