Here is a little video I was able to take when I had one of my rides.

This is an unrestricted climb, we went straight up to 16,000 ft. One of the best feelings I've ever had.

Good lord that must have been a fun ride!! I made the huge mistake of turning down an incentive flight when I was an Airman at Langley...I regret it everyday!!!

I bet! I was in a flight suit 3 times throughout my career. Always got canx'd at the last minute. Finally after over 10 years I finally got a ride, and many more after that too! Thanks buddy!
 
Great write up sir, appreciate you sharing the notes,pics and info.

Secondly, thank you for your service. My wife and I argue over F-15 vs F-16 but we all know who is better ;)

Look forward to the next one and hope to see you at the Join Services Open House at Andrews AFB if you guys are on the schedule this season

Check Six.
 
Nice video!

I'll have to look it up but I think the instrument approach goes right over my house. I see them all the time.

Thank you, Sir and thanks for your support. Don't get me started on the F-16 vs F-15 battle! Lol!

Don't think we will be making it over to the DC area this year, I believe the Blue Angels will be in Baltimore in September.

If you're anywhere north of the base, you'll most likely see them either taking off or on approach to land. The diamond has come together, look for the diamond loop on takeoff. That is if you haven't seen it before. Its awesome every time I see it.

Very nice work. Looked way better in the end. Would be cool to meet you one day since I just work one hangar over in Raptor.
 
SWEET !! I love aircraft! I'll tell you how cool this write up is... you just polished a thin strip and we (me included) are stoked!! LOL!

Your avatar has location as "sin city" I am a short 3.5 hour drive south of you. If you need assistance polishing more aluminum (or paint) on another Fighting Falcon please let me know. (free of charge!!) I have everything we could possibly need to shine the Falcon be it paint or aluminum.

I have a tiny bit of aircraft polishing experience.

The Generals B17 Bomber, "FUDDY DUDDY" polished perfect!

Oh man, that would be so awesome!! A big thanks for the offer. Unfortunately with all the Air Force regulations, I'm not sure I can legally allow someone to come out and do any work on the aircraft. I will definitely look into it and let you know!

Thanks again!!
 
I am honorably discharged from the Marine Corps and have done aircraft owned by the USAF before. If there is anything I can do to help let me know. Thanks
