I was awarded an awesome opportunity this past Friday. I was able to take an incentive flight in an F-16. It was intense....

we had a couple of F-15s fly over last week when Obama was in town- seems a retired couple entered a no fly zone-

they broke the sound barrier and jammed up all the 911 lines- felt like the building I was in was comming apart- very cool

Congratulation's on the flight. I've always dreamed of getting to go for a ride in a fighter jet. Only problem it would probably kill me. lol

I thought I was special just because I'm going to see the Blue Angels on Sunday and I get a bit of free VIP seating right next to the flightline, and free food because we build their engines where I work, but that doesn't even come close to what you did. That must have been the coolest ride ever.
