On May 10, 2004 I flew a Russian combat training jet out of Yolo airport through www.jetflights.org. I took the front seat while the real pilot "Scott" sat in the back. After climbing to 10,000 feet over Lake Berryessa we did a roll and a few loops. It was 4+ G force entering the loop. Otherwise the entire flight was relaxing, and all planes should have this visibility. (I found a prior photo of this plane when it was purchased in Maryland here.) I got a private pilot license from Atkin Air in 1997. But now, in part due to companies like HP sending jobs to India, I don't fly much.
Like most who take this flight I wish I were rich enough to burn holes in the sky at one mile per gallon more often...
