Can any of you ex navy or air force pilots describe the experience?" It is a blast--fast, beautiful, seamless integration of pilot and aircraft. Ironically, the main difference between flying the fast jets and our Lancairs (IMHO) is the feeling upon leaving the aircraft--after the jet ride, with all the yanking and banking, I usually felt physically wiped out, like coming off a 1hr vigorous exercise program.
