Thanks Baz,

Got some time in the F-18 simulator at Lamar NAS. Very fun, flew the sim under the Coronado Bridge in SD, the Officer running it challenged me to do it again inverted....(Full Afterburner). Also was buzzing downtown SD between the buildings. Was told if it was real life, the Commander's phone would be exploding as well as all the windows on the buildings . Successful carrier trap too. A total blast!!! once in a lifetime dealio.

Hahaha

Those two guys fathers started an air-show routine back in the day so there is history between the two family's and who is the better flyer(good natured). Unfortunately things being what they are, both dads were lost due to mishaps at different events. The clip Stearman was a secret build between father and son and I gotta admit, a very bad-ass performer. The other modified Pitts is also a stellar machine. I would give certain body parts to fly either one. I've got some limited acro but nothing like the video. Had a chance meet and talk with both Wayne Hadley and Sean Tucker, both amazing pilots too.

Anyway, all worthless trivia.

Cheers
