Nothing beats the view of that F15 taking off and going straight up. Watching the wings flex and buffet really adds to that scene, as does the sight of the receding vegetation on the ground being pushed around by the exhaust...
I love aviation. Just love it.
‘I love aviation.’
Great!
As an ordinary citizen, I love flying, if only the little amount I’ve done.
Told our (adult) kids if I’m in a crash, don’t feel bad for me, as I love to fly. . . .
An aside: Many in my family worked for Grumman on Long Island - as did I for a very short while - builder of all those ‘cat’ planes from WWII on, before it was Northrup Grumman, so I am steeped in a bit of aviation.
But I don’t believe that has a bearing on loving to fly,
does it - - ??!
yeah it's slightly contrived as i doubt scene about him getting chewed out about the near miss in debrief was real, but it's not a documentary some of the footage of the fires was prolly gas as high order detonation is over in a flash but over all it was very impressive when i saw at the IMAX in Rochester
