A friend just sent me this.
I remember this. The guy was retiring from the german Air Force. This was his last flight. i was planning something like this but the weather precluded me from doing what I had in store ( low cloud level ) kind of ironic for an all weather fighter to be grounded due to weather. Probably a good thing because you had to get the Voodoo up pretty fast on the envolope to perform at low level. this guy wasn't quite down to 5 ft. but I think it was probably indicated on his altimiter due to local settings. Still good show. i remember my backseater saying this once at an airshow when we had the A/c on static display " my job gives new meaning to the word trust ". If I remember correctly i thing the guy in the back seat here was actually another pilot.

Which pilot would you feel the safest with? I'll give you my answer first. That's actually me in the third one. I actually get around to talking about some of the characteristics of the airplane towards the end, so you have to watch the whole thing. Just so you will feel safe i don't fly anymore. ( that much ). I think that if the lovely young lady in the second video was packing some firepower I would feel safe with her. Very safe. But the bus driver who was in command of the apparatus well, too serious for me. Prior to take-off I'd put a few pounds of lead into his skull and let the lovely young lady take it from there. When I was in the Canadian Air Force they wouldn't let me fly busses so that's how I ended up on fighters. It takes a lot to get me talking about flying and my good friend marco happened to have his cell phone handy when this was done. The Montreal Canadiens had just beat the Boston Bruins to advance to the second round of the 2008 Stanley Cup play-offs.
i was always opposed to having female pilots in the forces but this lady impresed me. The video you will see is an FAA instructional safety video. Safety is something that I sometimes ignored because I was too busy flying. so what I would say to this lady. It's all yours baby. I'm going back into the cabin area to have a few drinks with the passengers in order to get to know them frst hand and re-assure them that we have a lovely lady with a level head flying straight and level up front with a lot of hours under her belt giving her undivided attention to any emergency situation that might arise. The fourth video contains footage of a pilot with whom I would not even trust with matches.
So which pilot would you rather be flying with this Christmas?
