Half Nekkid Takeoff
Yep, it was a fun trip down at Camp Lejeune. I took some time to visit the attached New River Marine Corps Air Station, where I managed to sneak a lift on this jet for some high-flying video action. Yes, it was a big rush for me. For more HNT details, go seek the Wizard Osbasso!

Nope, not an F-18. I thought it might have been an F-16 at first, but I noticed the little canard wing (which serves as the elevator and horizontal stabilizer, you'll notice there's no horizontal tail)under the cockpit and it's a two-man crew. After some research, it is the Eurofighter Typhoon which probably started as a purely British fighter (considering their last fighter was the Tornado) but now shared among all the countries in the European Union. I was in the Air Force and am an airplane buff, could you tell? lol
Wop, what are you doing on a European plane? LOL
shari - thanks! Just got it, umm... taken, yeah, that's it.
crimson - thanks!
bellarosa - ditto
ristak - could be, it was all moving by in such a blur... ;)
hnb - took a lot of straps to hold me in place, let me tell ya!
bill - dammit, I've been caught. Actually, I just wanted to feel like one of those jet-setting "Eurotrash" types. Besides, they always tell people to get on the plane... me? I'd rather get IN the plane, as Carlin would say.
