On February 22, 2010 we went into work to get ready to load up on a KC-10 with all of our cargo and all of us. I was one of the few to get picked to help with loading all of our cargo into the KC-10 and that was pretty cool. Once we were all loaded up we headed out to Nellis AFB. While we were flying out there, the jets that were flying right on the wings of the KC-10!! 
It was impressive, there was 2 on one side and 2 on the other. It was a 4 hour flight out there but once we got there it was nothing but mountains and nice 
crisp air. I loved it!!! After we got there it wasnt play time, we had everything to unload and went right to work on the jets that flew out there with us. For the rest of the week it was bust'n ass time and thats exactly what we did! We had first flights going up around 5 am and then when they landed we only had an hour to get them ready and turn them right around and go back up. It was like that the whole first week and we worked our ass off! Then friday came around and it was my time to get a ride in the F-15 Eagle!!!! HOLY 
SHIT I WAS EXCITED!!

Friday morning i 
went and got dressed and met up with my pilot. We went out to the jet and got started up and headed down to the end of the runway to get ready for our takeoff! By this time my adrenaline is maxed out and im pumped!!!! We got cleared to takeoff so we lit the burners and let off the brakes and started haul'n ass down the runway. We got down to the end and were only about 100 ft off the deck and parallel to the ground and then he pulled straight back and we went completely vertical and went from 100-16,000 ft in about 4 seconds!!!! It was the coolest thing i have ever experienced! Then we went and flew over Area 51 and then headed on to Death Valley. While we were flying we pulled 7.5 G's and then pulled another 8.0 G's!!! THAT SHIT WAS INTENSE!!!!!! Then the pilot let me fly and said to give her hell so i did some barrel rolls and a "S" turn and then some G force turns and i got up to pulling 5.5 G's. This whole experience was the experience of a lifetime and i dont think i will ever be happy after riding a roller coaster again because nothing could ever amount to this ride!! All of us guys would go downtown some nights 
to see the strip to see everything down there. I thought it was pretty cool and amazing how some of the places were built, but definately an expensive city to be in or even live in. It is nothing but a huge money bank. All in all we all had a great time and it was definately my trip of a lifetime and would love to do it all again!
