Re: Roundhouse Visit

Little bit faster than a K-36....SMILE First F-15 ride was in a 4-ship formation and it was simulated war time scramble. Went from standing still on the runway to 40,000 feet in 2 minutes. I was trying to shoot photos with a Nikon F2 with a motor drive, pulling about 7g and I could not move till we leveled off. Was an incredible day as I rode from Ramstein AB to Bitburg AB on the German Autobahn with one of the pilots in his Corvette. Went faster in a car and faster in an airplane than I have ever done on the same day. When I got my first cab ride in a K-36, the crew asked me if it was the most exciting thing I had done....I had to say no, but it was second best.
