First time landing a CH-46 on a pitching deck doing NVG quals. Wait, make that anything that has the words "rotor blades" in the flight handbook :D

OK, that is about the most @$$ kicking video I've seen in a while. Now I want to build a glider with a big old turbojet in it and hire some neighborhood kids on skateboards to do launch & recovery work.

Hey, I can drive a Camaro really fast...where do I sign up...:D

I was impressed, none of them had a mullet either!(I owned a camaro at one time myself, but no mullet, just seems to run with the family at times though)

Fighter / attack pilots need to worry about job security - not being shot down.

Banner towing could be a bit dicey when the winds were gusting. Had the hook kick off the ground once and break the end cap on the horizontal stabilizer. A season before me the guy had the hook bounce off the ground and wrap around the tail. No elevator. Brought it back with trim and power... 2 seasons after me the guy died on a banner drop. Released the banner and climbed too steeply, I guess. Stalled/spun in from 200 feet.

Banners are definitely dicey.
Watched one crash, lost 2 more planes that season.
I know 2 dead and 6 or 7 more crashed.

That was in 3 seasons.
