Do it – just ‘cause you can!

During my 30 year navy career (mostly A-4’s and A-7’s) I developed the habit / goal of going inverted at least once per flight – for no other reason than to celebrate the luck and joy of being up there. I also tried to do at least one 4 g turn.

Sometimes logic has nothing to do with it – although many will argue in the tactical arena, situational awareness is much better being inverted looking down!

A story about straight and level.

An F-16 pilot came across a lone C-130 and formed up on the 130. They talked a bit and the 16 pilot says "bet you can't top this". With that said, the 16 pilot began to tear up the sky doing loops, rolls and flying inverted. When he finished, the 130 pilot says "I can beat that". The 16 pilot waited but nothing happened for about 10 minutes. The plane did nothing but fly straight and level. The 130 pilot came back on the radio and said "what did you think of that?" The 16 pilot said "you did nothing but fly straight and level". The 130 pilot said "I sure did do something. I went to the can and took a dump, made a cup of coffee and talked to my loadmaster. Beat that!"
