What were the f4s that flew over the last TMS race? Those dudes flew around the neighborhood and then made a low pass into the speedway.

I know the last combat role for the F4 was in the Wild Weasel mission set. Bunch of crazy bastards.Comment

You remember the stories John use to tell us about the the three chinamen playing Fantan? This guy runs up to them and says, "Hey, the world's coming to an end!" and the first one says, "Well, I best go to the mission and pray," and the second one says, "Well, hell, I'm gonna go and buy me a case of Mezcal and six whores," and the third one says "Well, I'm gonna finish the game." I shall finish the game, Doc.Comment

What about a video?
This is a 360* camera on a vertical stabilizer of a MiG29.
This is an 11 min video going up to anywhere from 55,000-72,000 ft (no info on this vid, but that's the altitude these flights go to depending on weather). This is from MiGFlug, the company that will sell you a ride in the Foxbat.
Basically they get going vertical at nearly 740 mph and fly a ballistic trajectory to that altitude and back down.
You can drag the frame up/down/side-to-side and see 360* at any time.

Holy shit! That thing is awesome in every way! The speed, and especially the sound."It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself."Comment
