      My grandfather got a thank you note from him. haha
      He did an interview with the history channel about the event, said the fuel and smoke pouring from the tank obscured his view and he was unaware until he got out of the jet and the ground crew was in disbelief.

        Can't imagine the rush of taking off in one of those. Just the first minute gave me goosebumps. Afterburner has to be like the ultimate shot of nitrous.

          Trust me I know. I have to listen to the damn Blue Angels practice every morning. It was cool the first time, but not since. I'd rather listen to the T-6s or the T-1s going to the break right over my house every day.

              This video really makes it hard for me to love my favorite planes... F-16, F-14, A-10, then F-15.... And do not forget P-51, WWII planes
              Some cars and a bike...

              Some say... they have been raced, some a lot

                You prefer the 14 to the 15? Talk about rooting for the underdog

                    Performance wise no way. I know f-15 is a better platform. I just like the way the F-14 looks. No, Top Gun did not have any factor in it...

                        The F14 is truly an Iconic plane. Each era has a plane that represents it.

                        P51, F4U, F86, F4, F14, F16, etc.

                        I was always a sucker for the F101/F111.

                            He even said in the same interview if he would have known how bad it was he would have ejected

                                On a side note, I was walking thru LM on Wednesday and saw the sign showing 4500 F16 deliveries. Still a very cool bird!
