Take A Ride In The Cockpit Of An F-18

We stumbled across this great video shot by the pilot of an F/A-18 jet flying over the Sierra Nevada mountains on a flight run. 

The stills themselves are great pictures, and they also give the viewer a sense of what it's like to sit in the cockpit of one of the most famous planes in military history. 

Here, we take a look at what it takes to ride in an F/A-18, and what makes the jet so unique.

Here's the left side view from the cockpit of an F/A-18

The pilot is flying over the Sierra Nevada mountains and the view from the cockpit is absolutely wonderful

The F/A-18 is a highly maneuverable jet designed for multiple uses
