| Set burner to stun London, ON September 2018 This photo originally shared on Instagram |
I imagined the pilot of this plane - an F-16 Fighting Falcon belonging to the U.S. Air Force Viper Demo Team - might have that thought just before lighting the afterburner and turning fossilized dinosaurs into mind-warping acceleration. From the looks of it, whoever was at the controls on this day last September was too disciplined to take a joy ride, but I can imagine the flight lead cracking a tiny smile beneath the Darth Vader-esque helmet.
Because even crack aviators have souls. And the occasional moment of extreme noise, speed, and fury is probably good for the soul. Both theirs and ours. Whether or not we're anywhere near a plane.

"just before lighting the afterburner and turning fossilized dinosaurs into mind-warping acceleration." great description.
I loved going to air shows when my 2 boys were young. Always came home with a sunburned face after having looked at the sky all afternoon. Haven't been to a decent air show for ages.
