Looks like an "E"-ticket ride to me.

I've watched it 10 times now! It really is cool how they matched the video to the music.

Hooo Hum.... been there, done that.

Seriously, my few hours in the Hornet were a blast. Especially the low levels to high G (~7) pops to a bomb delivery.

I can personally vouch for the fact that it's an E ticket ride. Much more so when you're looking out the FRONT window, too.

Awsome, I have about 3.5 hrs of video from my sons F-14. In fact when the 18 is sitting on the 'CAT' the jet rolling by on the left with the tail painted up was one of the squadrens that he was with on his first deployment to the Pursian Gulf that was VF111. He flew the Tomcat for nine yrs. He is still in the Navy Res. as a flight instructor at N/A Pcola

Makes me proud to be an American! What that must feel like to fly a fighter jet!!
When we go to the air shows, It makes me feel so dang good to see that technology and power it literally makes me laugh out loud and brings tears to my eyes all at the same time.
