Default Best Job In The World

I posted this over on Pavement Sucks, but I'm trying to get more active on here so I figured I'd post it over here too.

This is just a short vid I took with my cell phone the other day, flying at 2500 feet from Corpus Christi to Fort Hood.


Did I mention I love my job?

I have 2 other vids on there I can post if anyone is interested, they are longer and show kind of what we did on my last trip over in Iraq

Man, you aren't going to get me to jump out either...I'm locked to the floor...I have no problem dropping that ramp for some other poor soul to jump though

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

This is the one I'm most proud of...Took me a long time to do it, shows what it was like flying at night for 15 months

OHHHHHHHH YEAH......When we first got to Iraq, a LOT of our pilots were fresh out of flight school, did their progression with the unit and jumped right into pulling missions...It made for some interesting flights and some good stories when you got back on the ground.
