Talk about a bad experience but at least he lived to talk about it.

Ouch!

I think we should think twice before joining the Air Force. So much can happen in so little.
The difference between successful people from others is
not in the lack of strength,
not in the lack of knowledge,
but rather in the lack of will.

Wow.. I had seen this on 'Most .... something or others... :geek: ' I don't remember the damn one it was on... BUT, I never heard it from the guys mouth before- he's really lucky he survived, and with only a black eye? Sheesh... someone upstairs is watching over him.

Truly one of the most amazing videos i've seen. The engines in that aircraft produce over 11,000lbs of thrust each, so the speed at which the fan has to rotate to suck in the air required is mind boggling! Basically, if he didn't have his helmet sucked off him first, it would have been like going through a spinning cheese grater! To body swerve certain death in this way is remarkable. I take my hat off to him.....but then again, i think i'll leave it on, just in case! :salute:
