The pilot said he would have bailed had he known. Just goes to show what you’re capable of without preconceived notions of what’s possible.

Yeah the pilot might have bailed, but he had ice water in his veins and just figured out that going to AFTERBURNERS??? made it fly better.

I hate subs, I hate flying and if I'm going to fight, I want to do it from about a 5-6 ft platform. .... on the ground.

I have to admit after listening to the pilots on History Channel they are always close to the edge when flying in combat and somehow sound pretty calm. In an analytical sort of way. I wonder if that's the temperament that it takes to be a jet jockey or if it's the training.
