That was a awesome video, I kept thinking to myself that looks like James May from Top Gear, turned out it was! That must have been from his other show, although that would fit right in with Top Gear, especially with those nice Pontiac GTOs!

Thanks for the link, awesome views. I wish I was fortunate enough to have also seen the SR-71.

What a great video. The pilot is a college buddy of mine who is a real Warbird nut and he owns a J-3. Well done John!

His office has the best view!

That's one of the three kerosene burners that I lust after to be able to have a chance to fly....

That plane has one crazy flight envelope, takes a gentle touch up on the extreme edge. Not too many planes out there you have to wear a space suit to fly!

John, the pilot in the video just sent me the following:

"...you're only seeing 10 minutes of a 60 min documentary (one of two - the second one is 30 min).

Here, watch them both in their entirety:
