Click on each scene (1-5) to see how this guy enjoys his ride in a F/A-18.

Looks like good fun

That is fantastic, and I too would love a go at it, but why do Americans have to chew all the time, yac, gee I hate that.

He's chewing ginger gum, leon...which is meant to help avoid nausea.

Unfortunately, it doesn't prevent blackout!
