| Woke up today.. Great day! |
A lot more fun than a roller coaster that's for sure! | |||

Looks like I need to put this on my itinerary for a future UK visit. Link: Machloop.co.uk With some planning it seems like one can climb up some hills and get views DOWN on to the aircraft below. _________________________ “Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority.

Nice to see it from the pilots perspective compared to ground video.. | |||

Is the pilot or the backseater doing the narration? If I were flying I'd focus on, well...flying. After the first plane parks a two seater taxis by. Then again, that could be unrelated stock footage. | |||

Been there, seen that. Looking down into the cockpit is awesome! | |||

Now and Zen |
If you look at the headrest of the seat you can see stenciling indicating it is the number two seat. ___________________________________________________________________________ "....imitate the action of the Tiger." | |||

I'd venture to say it was the pilot talking to let the backseater (VIP or Instructor) know what was going on. In Navy Fighters (F-14s/F-18Fs) we didn't talk at all when really doing it - there is some chatter when going through the initial qual course for dive recovery rules when you are learning but it's far less and drops off in the fleet - and when you do talk it's typical tactical in nature because you have more important things to do like either: (1) enjoy the scenery and fly if it's just a good deal low level or (2) train like someone is trying to kill you, look for enemy air / ground threats, and be ready to simulate an attack on a target - the whole reason you would be flying like that!  Low level flying is awesome, nothing like 200', 70+deg AOB, 450kts, and 7.5Gs intercepting CAS strikers as a FAC(A). You are really living on the edge there and working for a living, but it is fun as hell! | |||

| hello darkness my old friend  |
That's some gorgeous terrain and looks like a perfect day for flying. Looked like a couple of nice flyfishing streams down below. Hmmm.... | |||
