I Wish I Could Fly An F-15 Around The Last Shuttle Launch

Apparently, every time the space shuttle launches, pretty F-15s gather around to patrol the skies. The view is just amazing. This photo was sent by the co-pilot of one of the birds of war to astronaut Gregory Johnson, aboard Endeavour.

Just one more perk of flying multi-million dollar jet fighters. That and playing One Vision in your 1986 Walkman every time you get into combat.

    I am now imagining Freddy Mercury flying that jet.

    This might make my brain explode of awesome.

    Someone please make a meme of Mercury flying a fighter jet, singing ‘I want it all’.

    Thankyou.
