That's all right, Tim....we'll see how "cool" you look after a spin in the Eagle at 9G. <devilish laugh>

Eh, curious to know if that Mustang has a reinforced conopy to accomodate a back-seat passanger. That isn't the type of canopy they flew in WWII is it?

Reinforced? How do you mean?

Yes, same shape.

I had plenty of headroom in the back with a headset on. If I were wearing a helmet, though, it would be pretty cramped -- definitely tough to check six.

Hacker,

My dad told me to post that but I knew it was a matter of time until that shot made it onto the internet. I know how it is to be a fat kid too so don't worry, your not alone.

It looks like there's a good set of shoulder harnesses in the back seat, but where is the parachute for the passenger?

I brought my seat pack parachute when I went for a ride in that Mustang, just throw the seat cushion in the gun bay. I guess Randy likes to live life on the edge?
