Ever wonder what it's like in the backseat of an F-18?

11-7000 like that amazing.

Some good footage is on the "Van Halen - Dreams" video. I remember seeing it as a kid, but cant find it on youtube

Looks like a lot of fun. I'm surprised they let him chew gum given the possibility of him blacking out. It's not like the pilot can pull over and do the heimlich when needed.

I worked on the F18's and wouldnt want to get anywere near one. They are POS and having 18-19 yr olds working on your plane after going through 4 months of training is just stupid. I give those people who fly them lots of credit.
