Could it be some portal into another dimension or perhaps the gateway to Hell itself.

You could see below, both sides, above and straight ahead with a completely unobstructed view. It felt like you were flying in mid-air. Being a huge aviation enthusiast it was easily the best $300 I ever spent for a 60 minute flight
:)
Oh mate. I'm bloody jealous.

Got a bit of a passion for aviation myself.

I've seen the B17 they used in the film at an air show and i've walked through 'Sally B' which was a B17 that actuall y operated in the war but never been up in one.

Got a thing for Vulcan bombers as well.....shame they grounded them.

Mine don't really compare...but I got three, and they're more things that have happened, but, here goes.

First, is television footage a while back of our (then) Australian prime minister, Bob Hawke playing in a cricket game for some PR kinda deal...and then copping a cricket ball in the head...eh, I guess you just hadda see it. I was too young to be politically inclined at the time, so I didn't laugh at a politician getting a good one, he was just another guy to me, but goddamn this was funny, and cool.

This one is something I did...and I don't like to boast, but this was unmistakeably cool. I was walking through an arcade (yknow, videogames and the like) with my friend, at about the age of 14.
So there's this guy repairing a pinball machine...and he's facing the other way...I grabbed a pinball outta his case, and he turns round as I'm standing back up, kinda like he'd see SOMETHING outte the corner of his eye...so...in the same motion of standing up, I flip the ball directly upwards, and show the guy both of my hands, palms out-turned towards him.
He sees nothing, and turns back...this all mustve happened pretty quick, as at that moment, the ball comes back down, and I snatch it from the air in front of me as I start walking away, I guess it was just a reflex thing, but when we got outta there, I show my friend the pinball, who didn't even know I got it...we just started laughing.

Another one is (again) something I did...
I did judo for maybe 2 years at a very young age (like 5 & 6), yet never had the cause to really use it.
then when I was in the fourth year of primary school, and a 6th year kid was giving me a hard time. I was on my bicycle, and he stood in front of it, holding onto one of my handle bars.
I dunno how it exactly happened, but I grabbed him by the wrist, and put his ass on the floor, with like, no difficulty at all, while still standing with a leg on either side of my bike. As I walked away, I heard him saying to his friends
"but, he's a year 4!! he's a year 4!"
I figured I mustve remembered some of the judo I thought I'd forgotten, I just walked on before he figured out it was probably a one-off.
But yeah, it played out pretty cool...

Ok, last one, this is something I SAW happen.
It was a little terrifying, but the kinda thing you don't look away from, knowing it's one of those "will never happen again" kinda occurences. Something very fucked up, followed by something that I personally found really funny.
...
In highschool, second year...some kids were playing this game, I'm not sure what it was called...they played it with a tennis ball, against a wall, and used their hands to hit it...kinda worked a little like squash.
so some kid hit the ball really high, and it messed with the flight path of a pidgeon flying overhead...the pidgeon didn't correct itself in time, and slammed into the high part of the wall, about 2.5 storeys up, which it splattered with blood, then began to fall. It landed with quite a thump, and out of it's GAPING chest (I guess it had "popped" itself against the wall), flew blood, organs and a shitload of seeds. It had landed between 2 kids.
I saw that the one facing me had been splattered with blood, and SOME random looking blood covered organ, allover his shoes, pants, and the bottom of his shirt...and I dunno if it was the bird, or the parts of it that were stuck to him, but he hurled up like a motherfucker...straight into the other kids midsection, and almost instantly ,the other one threw up allover the bird and the first kids pants.
This all happened in a matter of about 5-10 seconds.
One kid ran off crying, the other just stood there dumbfounded.
I was transfixed and semi-horrified by what had happened to the poor bird, but when the kid ran off crying, I started laughing...and couldn't stop.
A teacher had approached to see what was going on, and when she saw me laughing, she just said "sick...".
I kept laughing, and even in class for the rest of the day, chuckled here and there. Everyone knew what I was laughing at too...my outbursts had set another few kids off laughing too.
Terrifying, but the whole incident was SOMEHOW cool...

That's all I got for now.

I am a huge fan of WW2 aircraft both allied and axis....really like the WW1 Fokker tri-plane also. Flying in that B-17 was awesome. The noise of those 4 pratt & whitney engines was unbelievable. We got to go all through the plane during the flight. The top turrent was cool as was the belly turrent. It was sure crampeed in that thing trying to crawl down to the nose of the aircraft. Must of been a bitch trying to get out of one of those when it was going down. To this day I'm kicking myself in the ass. For $500 you could sit in the co-pilot seat and fly the plane for 15 minutes.....I should of spent the extra $200....DAMN!!!! :mad:
