Great video 8) Very cool that the real team made this happen - although I know the VPJT is now technically the real team as well.

We need details about the day! What maneuvers did you get to fly? How did it feel compared to the sim, was it easier or harder? Details! Would be cool if there was a raw version of the majority of the flight, with the comms.

Sorry no comms recorded, unfortunately. We will be releasing a full-featured 8 minute version in the next week or so, however. This version, made by Sinister, was missing lots of video segments because he didn't have all the raw files and was rushed to push something out for VFAT weekend.

We have 4 cameras with 45 minutes of footage on each, but it's like 50 GB of raw files. Unfortunately, Bow's camera died immediately and Burner was too mystified by the flight to remember to take any footage lol.

Burner didn't have a camera mounted in the pit and his hands were otherwise occupied and couldn't hold a camera. :wink:

I figured you'd go for a masturbation joke, but that works too. :o
