I'd kill for that ride-along.

I had a guy who was an aerobatic nut at my old flight school that used to LOVE getting the CFIs up in the super Decathalon just to see 'em get the sweats and/or puke. Naturally I took him up on his "invitation" and we must've done a full hour's worth of immlemans, spins, cuban 8s, hammerheads, loops, rolls, etc. He actually started to get queazy before I did - I had the time of my life! Oh, what I wouldn't give for some more aerobat time. . .

I imagine it's a lot easier to get disoriented and/or sick in an F18 though - but I'd still be smiling even if I was barfing. Freekin' awesome videos.
