Nope. Tu-160 Blackjack. Bigger and badder than the B-1. Infact the biggest combat aircraft ever built (non-cargo)  :praise:

No

I'm a flying machine, mainly single engine but every blue moon I get some seat time in F-15s.

Wow, thats cool!  B)  How do they allow civilians to fly rear in F-15s? or do you have contacts in the AF?

Is it the joyride-for-cash thing like they run in Russia these days? For something like a few thousand $$, you can fly in the rear seat of a Mig-29/25 for half an hour or so. You dont actually 'fly' the plane ofcourse, the russian pilot does that....you are just along for the ride.

My uncle is a 25yr retired AF full bird that now flys for Southwest.  He's got much stroke at the local guard here and he takes me in with him.  They are detuned quite a bit for seat time building but still hitting about 70% of what they have.  It's quite a rush.  I don't know if you saw in the Chat Thread but I went up with my buddy in his aerobatic plane yesterday and it was incredible.  Hammerheads, Split Ss he even envoked an inverted flat spin that really blew my mind.  We were only at about 900 ft too so it's a major rush when the ground is that close.  Here's his ride Christen-Eagle.

I have my private liscense and I'm working on my IFR currently.  It's amazing to just go to the airport and rent a plane for the weekend and haul ass pretty much wherever you want to go within 800 miles or so.  It's one of the best investments I ever made for a hobby of pure pleasure.
