New build in South Texas

[PoolDoc]

Either that or he trained at "Top Gun"--in which case I am not flying with him!

Speak for yourself! A chance to fly with a top gun pilot -- in an F-15/16/18 -- is likely to be one of my unfulfilled desires. For about 16 years, Chattanooga had an airshow every other year, with either the Blue Angels (2x) or the Thunderbirds. My back yard was in the middle of the southern leg of the Thunderbirds performance loop. They'd always run practice flights the day before, getting low enough so that once one of my sons got a wave from a pilot!

Three of us LOVED it. Susan, not so much. A couple of years, the T-birds would take a local media rep on a PR flight up to the military air space at Arnold Air Force base, which always made apparently made the reps a bit green. I was green too, but with envy, not nausea. I always said if I ever got an invite, I'd go to Six Flags on some off-days, and spend time on some of the looping and upside down rides to get ready.

A chance to do so, would be the ONLY reason I'd voluntarily go to Six Flags or somewhere similar -- so I could 'flight train' my stomach before getting strapped into the real thing.
