He is WSO not the pilot

[mossvader]

This is hardy the outer atmosphere, they usually climb to 15-18000ft when they do this.

[homicyclops]

I climb mountains much higher than that.

Not even the WSO. Most likely, this is an incentive ride, given to a ground crew member for a reward for competition or outstanding job peformance. Also given to celebs, reporters, and other famous people for various reasons.

@romansallai what does WSO stand for?

[Redmilitiageneral]

yes.. thats what i mean.. lol

This guy looks like the navigator because he has his arms on the side of the cockpit while they are ascending.

@Redmilitiageneral You mean the AV-8B Harrier and the EA-6B Prowler

[tenacious645]

@Redmilitiageneral That sound like some pretty legit information thanks man

[Redmilitiageneral]

@tenacious645 Nope. The USMC uses the f-18, av-88(harrier) and the a-6, that quail lookin bomber type deal. f-15 is all air force. and btw for the discussion of the altitude i think the top altitude for most fighter jets if not all planes is like 40-50,000
