"Doesnt it feel amazing to shoot down the runway and take off and land huge jets?"



In a word, no.

After opening up the link below, watch the Dutch F-16 demo clip.

Then, watch the Cathay Pacific 747 takeoff at Heathrow. If you don't want to stab yourself in the eyes with a fork by the end of the 60+ second takeoff roll, I'll be genuinely surprised.

Guys didn't/don't join airlines for the flying.....it's for the money (or used to be!!) and the days off. However, please temper my opinion with the fact that I'm a Second Officer, and my comments are based on expectation after careful observation of widebody takeoffs....when I watch the Captain and FO 'launch' from Heathrow, they're not normally on an adrenaline high for the next hour!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If the link doesn't work, go to sonicbomb.com, click 'aviation' on the left, and you will see the aforementioned clips in the middle of the resulting web page.
