I used to enjoy looping bridges in the Extra 300. If you get in the Hornet, see how high the game will let you get on a max-performance climb.

I watched the scalp of the person in front of me (I was on a US 734 :rolleyes:).

Oh US 734s...how I am glad I have not seen the inside of one of you since 2005...

Sounds good...I might have some discount certs to McCormick and Schmick's as well (they're giving them out in SkyClubs right now...)
Clips are playing Lakers tonight. Tomorrow may not be best game to see them with their injuries.

About 25,000 feet or so, but going from 1,000 to 25,000 in about five seconds is what makes it impressive. :D

A few years back, my wife had to have eye surgery for a partially detached retina. She had to stay overnight at the hospital 1 night basically blindfolded so she didn't move her eye, and I had to basically provide the visual captioning to What Not to Wear for her.

Such is love...

Only 25,000? Does the add-on for the Hornet have afterburners?

I was in Y. I no longer accrue to Dividend :rolleyes:s and thus don't get upgraded.

The snack basket isn't the same, anyway; they got rid of the Cape Cods, and XOXOs aren't made any more.

IIRC, the F-15 has a better thrust/weight ratio. I had a model of that for FS2000.

(edit - according to Wikipedia, it can do >50,000 vertical feet/minute in vertical climb)

My favorite was going under the Golden Gate with a commercial airliner. Or, trying, at least.

My wife has watched her soap opera for more than 30 years. When I first moved in with her, we didn't have a VCR, and she was working while I was home all day theoretically writing my dissertation. I would watch her soap and provide her with a recap every day when she came home.

I may need to remind her of that. :D

Night box.

It does, and full military power was applied. It starts to get shaky about 845kt (955mph) though. It's funny, I was flying in real time but the other aircraft looked like I was at 4x time.

I've got my trusty 737-800 with a nice CO livery that has done many acrobatic moves, including flying under the Golden Gate, flying inside the Grand Canyon (which I plan to do with the F-18) and shooting a normal approach at PBH. :eek:
