Enjoy. Lot of power behind that seat. 
No music to ruin it either.

Holy crap, I didn't know that. Everything about that video is crazy. It's like a video game.

How do you post a link like you did so it is active? I have not seen that on covers for years.
I'm shocked somebody actually thought that a fighter hitting the deck of a carrier used brakes to slow to a stop. SMH
Zero idea how that link turned hyper. Pure luck...
I'll try another and see if it grabs again.

This is called "Catching the wire" or a trap. Pilot hits the deck at low speed and then throttles 100% up in case he misses the "catch". You can see full after burners light up at the end of the #3 wire.
Ex military Navy/Air Force converted commercial pilots are notorious for smashing the runway and slamming on the brakes. Air Force pilots are notorious for using the entire runway.

Why, is that common knowledge? As one of the dumbest posters on here, you shouldn't be shaking your head at anyone. Your posting history on here is nothing short of embarrassing.

Yes it is common knowledge - sorry to break the news to you. You seem a bit thin skinned... good luck with that
