Oh yeah I agree! I absolutely love the old piston planes! Honestly I have a love for all but those old engines have such an amazing sound and they will always have that one up
I would love to be strapped into a jet one day, if I do follow that route hopefully I can accomplish that! Oh and those videos of people passing out from the G's are hilarious! I actually wish I could find out how much I can take hahahaha
I can't even begin to imagine the feeling of flying in a fighter jet would feel like. I know some people have actually blacked out because of the g-forces. Hence all the training fighter pilots receive before flying. I've always loved piston-engine airplanes. If we still used piston engine planes, I'd have enlisted in the Airforce. Planes like the Mitsubishi A6M Zero, the Messerschmitt BF109, and of course the more famous Supermarine Spitfire or P51 Mustang get me pumped. I'd flip out if I ever got a chance to fly one of those beauties. I have to admit though, going 1,200mph~ in a F18 sounds pretty bad ass.
Hey, yeah I most likely will. I would like Air Force but also been thinking about Marines as getting into the seat of a fighter is easier going with the Marines haha! Yep, you can log those military hours, my grandfather flew cargo in the Air Force and used his military experience to get a job with an airline.
Hey Gunny,
You joining the service? If you are, then I'm guessing you are going with the Airforce. Then again, the Navy has its planes too I didn't know flying in the military would count towards your flight time, but that only makes sense.
