"I Hated Every Minute of It ..."
I recently had the opportunity to enjoy a flight in the Warrior Aviation L-39. It was both my first time in a jet and [my first time] having ever performed aerobatics. As you can tell, I hated every minute of it. LOL. This is a still frame exported from a GoPro camera on board.
