I get plenty of adrenaline at work. I'm ready for therapy on the way home. I guess that's why I prefer SRV over AC/DC now days. Stevie did some amazing jazz you know.
I love an adrenaline hit and although I don't fly..... I love paragliding. I have a clip of me pulling a 3G+ spiral with a test pilot somware. If I find it I will post it on this thread.
It may not strictly be flying (more like falling, l suppose) but it sure is fun.

Oh, and give me both SRV & AC/DC it's just a case of the right tune at the right time.
If I find the clip that I mentioned you will hear a little bit of keith Richards playing in the clip, now that was just right for how I felt at the time.

I found the clip.....

This was a tandem flight with a "Wing" test pilot, He estimated it was more like 4G.
Ive also done some maths and calculated the aproximate G force involved.

Aparently we exceeded the magic 15+/ms decent rate & with a rotation speed reaching 2.6 seconds (at times) this works out at 3.77G
So who knows? Perhaps we did top out at 4G.
