That Phantom low level video shows the one thing that really struck me about flying in a fast jet.
Not so much rushing sound of air or roaring of engines (which I had expected as a civilian) but just the hum of electrics and other systems in your ears - much like the sound you hear in a helicopter headset.
And you sit still, as the world moves and rotates abruptly around you.
Then there's a point where your stomach suddenly catches up with your eyes and your ears - and you have that horrible, sweaty, sickly feeling.
Didn't throw up but came bloody close.
Only alleviated by trying to fly the damn thing.
A most uncanny experience!
