The whole story is the pilot did this with the prez and V.P of Cathaway airlines on board. this was the inaugural celebration flight of the airline recieving its first Boeing 777 with GE90-115B power. Yes the pilot was fired for it.
BTW thats 130,000lbs of thrust.
and If you notice, the the quietest commercial engine in the world.

I was wondering what I'd do if asked to fly in a fighter jet. I was thinking about that when I saw the Fantasy Factory episode where Dyrdek went up. I'm pretty much the opposite of an adrenaline junky, get nervous about doing pretty much anything, and I'm guessing I'd get motion sick too. I wouldn't go out seeking a ride, but if someone asked me I don't think I could say no.

That would be amazing. I'd have to say that's the biggest incentive to doing well in/ or working for the military. Comp flights. My dad's flown in an F-4 and F-16.

Its very uncomfortable and you WILL pass out and Throw up. BUT you can say you had an expirence many people will never have. you should try something easy at first like a single prop plane first.
Thanks to my military/avation career I have lead a very full life so far (with more to come!!!
)Every year we rent a cessna and do a "fall colors" tour this year we flew (a friend on my team is a pilot he used to pilots the traffic cessna for the morning traffic report
) to athens GA. for lunch and back the mountains in the fall are spectacular.There are so many Holy Shit this is awesome moments to remember. just a few.
1. getting picked up by a helo in the middle of pensacola bay.
2. Whitnessing first hand the maiden flight of the F-22 Raptor.
3.Seeing the space shuttle launch off the florida coast while at 20,000 feet.
4.Trimming the fuel on a 757 at highpower in the pouring rain and getting to see the engine suck up water off of the ground.
5.Run and taxi quals on B-757, DC-9 and DC-10s at NWA.
6. Having a private jet fly us to fix a L-1011 that was broke hard in key west.
7. Spending 2 weeks in Hawaii because the aft fuel bag on our plane was leaking fuel.
8.helping change a main tire on the yankee lady and then going up in that magnificent old war horse.
9. Been to 61 countrys and I only count the ones I drank a beer in.
If you have the opprtunity to take that flight you wont forget it I promise!!!
High Flight
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds - and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air.
Up, up the long delirious, burning blue,
I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or even eagle flew -
And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod
The high untresspassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand and touched the face of God.
