3 > 2 in terms of badassness on the cover

but 2 > 3 in terms of knowing the skill to do that

All are pretty badass, but I love the Blue Angels water flybys (too bad our airshow is over land so we only get a land low flyby).

These always make me regret not pursuing something like that when I was younger...one of my absolute dream jobs, that I would give up virtually everything to have.

and the beach was amazing too... doesn't look like it in the vid but when i was there the wave were monster.

I wish i had spent more time there.

if you do make it in St Marteens you have to paned at least a day at this beach... the jumbo jets are fairly rare... but even the smaller airliners are impressive.

One of the best experiences of my life was when I was painting the roof of an airport hangar when the blue angels was practicing right above me. It was fucking insane.

Its pretty incredible to believe that they are in motion strictly by pushing air. Unreal.

when i was in the phillipines we were doing a class in the middle of a field when i turn around and what do i see but a phillipine air force f-16 coming right at us 20 feet off the ground. the fucker got about 100m past us and pulled straight up. good thing he did as there was a big ass hill another 100m meters past that. i bet that fucker got a good laugh out of that. :squint:
