      Were you once a fast jet military pilot or do you just envy him. I for one do not understand how anyone that use to fly something like an F18 could, on leaving the military ever settle in to the somewhat tedious job of an airline pilot. I guess they need to feed their kids like everyone else.

    The look of relaxation in his eyes as he rolls out after the climb out is notable! That looked a lot more stressful than most people probably imagine. Being able to pick out your exact route at those speeds amongst all the ground clutter is impressive. There were a couple of very awkwardly located cranes on his run in. One wrong move and he's in all sorts of trouble.

    Awesome. I spent my days in the ADF on the ground in the Infantry but I always salute RAAF and our boys in the sky. Air Movements always hauled my raggedy arse around safely. I'll never forget the night when I was with Joint Task Force 112 at the closing of the Sydney Olympics when an F-111 did a vertical climb on afterburner. Off duty at the time but we seen it from Holsworthy barracks and it turned night into day...
