I want to be a fighter pilot. Their office is so much more exciting than mine.

I have that saved as one of my favourites it's awsome :drool: :drool:

Its made up of clips from a French top gun style film which was released a few years ago. Its amazing that it is all actually real footage and not that computer generated malarky. It was filmed using chase planes which had the rear cockpit removed and video camera's in a drop tank under the fuselage. The pilots were cleared to a minimum altitude of 10ft and minimum distance between aircraft of 3ft :laugh: :laugh:

Heres another selection from the same film :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:



Oh why didn't I try harder in school :sad1: :sad1: :sad1: :sad1:

....Wow!! Now for the first time I understand why folks want to be pilots. That is absolutely stunningly beautiful and no wonder they are referred to as birds.  :notworthy: :notworthy:

....I must have missed it.

Most certainly certifiable except that it's clearly his normality - He's got it all worked out, he's a professional:

Anyone else notice 2:36 in the first film? There's no rear canopy on that jet :confused:

Yeah done the "Mach Loop" and some dog fighting exercises over the Black Mountains too, was a few years ago lol

Most recent flying I've done was in a Harrier GR7 in Cyprus which was this time last year, haven't done any flying since due to my kankle (ankle reconstruction lol)
