I have a whopping total of
1.4 hours logged in an F/A-18D, with a little more than half that time having control of the stick. I can personally guarantee that the 45 minutes I spent "punching holes in the sky" was much more fun than ANYTHING I have done in my 911.
Aileron Rolls, Max Climbs, Turfing Clouds...my heart beats faster just thinking about it!
