View Full Version : Magic F18 Ride Tigster 03-18-2005, 08:29 PM This clip has good music too. Thought I would share.... http://raf.union.rpi.edu/downloads/f18_ride.wmv I think it is pretty cool... :cool: BlueEyes 03-18-2005, 08:35 PM Very cool and very good music! Aratinga 03-18-2005, 08:38 PM Young'uns, that good music is Steppenwolf. Ahhh, memories of younger days. :) Great vid -- thanks for the link! That's one of those things I hope I get to do before I die -- go for a magic carpet ride in a Hornet! moRotorMotor 03-23-2005, 04:41 PM Bump. draco067 03-24-2005, 06:10 AM that's almost surreal Blue87Sport 03-24-2005, 10:20 PM Yeah they're fast but they get worse mileage than we do. And less headroom in the backseat. And the trunk is useless. But they are better equipted to "deal" with the guy going slow in the left lane. :) BTW, did anyone notice that the license plate holder on the F/A-18 said "My other ride is an RX-8!" My hat goes off to those who have the cojones to slam one of those down on the deck of a moving ship. BlueEyes 03-24-2005, 10:40 PM If I wasn't 6'1 I would have become a fighter pilot for sure. I went and talked with some guys and they said I am too tall, then told me there are lots of other planes I could fly :rolleyes: Blue87Sport 03-24-2005, 10:50 PM BlueEyes, After a few catapult shots and arrester hook landings you'd end up around 5'8" . :) Oops, I just noticed that you're in the Great White North. No carriers up there. You'll just have to slouch. :) ScudRunner 03-24-2005, 11:51 PM "They" lied. At least in the US, 6'1 doesn't stop anybody from flying fighters. And crashing into a carrier can't be that hard. Bringing a helicopter to a stop and making a pinpoint landing on a pitching deck is hard. :D Blue87Sport 03-25-2005, 01:39 PM Scud, My hat's off to all you rotary wing guys as well. Anyone that can keep those collections of pieces moving in different directions up in the air and under control are worthy of our awe and admiration. :) You helo guys need a good marketing video like this, complete with a classic rock song soundtrack. What's the right song for helo ops? dmp 03-25-2005, 01:50 PM I'd bet money that F18 has the M-Flash. :D Blue87Sport 03-25-2005, 02:01 PM dmp is right. Notice the lack of smoot on the tailpipes. moRotorMotor 03-25-2005, 02:07 PM You helo guys need a good marketing video like this, complete with a classic rock song soundtrack.
