wingnut 0 #1 August 29, 2001 yup i get to ride in the world fastest jump ship. well okay it's not quite a jump ship but it's one hell of a plane. 10 seconds to 13,000ft!!! yup that's right it's freaking fast!!!!! your pobly wondering what plane this is, right? well it's the most manuverable production fighter aircraft in the world!!! THE F-16 FIGHTING FALCON!!!!! i'm getting a ride in one tommorow afternoon! It's a rare chance to get a ride in a fighter jet here in the airforce. I got promoted early and it's a big deal so it qualified me for this ride, then i'm in las vegas on a temp. duty and we are doing rides so i get the chance. i had to get a brief on how to eject if needed and how to steer and land under a round parachute. it was funny when the pilot was trying to discribe a plf. it's gona rock!!!! i'll have to bring my pictures to perris to show. i'll get em up on the web when i get back to germany. so wish me luck and i asked the same question: if i eject can i log it....the answer is no, it has to be a predetermined jump, not and emergency escape!

PalmettoTiger 1 #2 August 29, 2001 WOW that's awesome Wingnut!! I would shed blood - not necessarily my own either - for a chance to ride in a modern fighter. You should eat some bananas before you go for the ride, too, just in case the pilot tries to make you hurl.Blues, squares,PTiger Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tell them you want to drop bombs! Nothing like screaming over a range at 500 ft with a 550kias ingress. Just remember, it only has one engine. A few years back a crew chief was taking a ride in Germany and sucked in a bird. He landed on the golf course. You can log those jumps on a military jump log.
