* F/A 18 Hornet Fighter Pilots *
Friday, February 22, 2008
Camille and I are official fighter pilots now! Through her networking contacts, Camille was able to get us a night of flight simulation in F/A 18 Hornets for free. It was amazing! We suited up in flight suits and after a brief training, we stepped up the ladders into our cockpits. I looked very studly in the flight suit by the way. It took a little time to get used to the controls, but once we got the hang of the them we had a blast! At the end of the night I was the Top Gun with 18 kills and Camille came in a close second with 16. Landing was definitely the most challenging part of the experience. We did a runway landing and a carrier landing during day and night time conditions. I was a natural when it came to landing. They even threw a night time carrier landing with only one working engine at me to give me a challenge. I made it safely, though it was pretty challenging. The fun filled night reinforced our desires to get our pilot's licenses in the future!
