fighter jet

Just before the 2017 Atlantic City Air Show, I got the ride of my life in an actual F-16 fighter jet. In honor of this year's festivities, I thought I'd show you what it's really like to experience that kind of high.

Ride along with Midday host Heather DeLuca as she flies in an F-16 fighter jet with the 177th Fighter Wing!

To say that I'm a military airplane junky is an understatement. It's taken me 15 years to get permission to fly as a civilian in an F-16 fighter jet, but it happened. In the first part of my journey, I attend flight training at the 177th Fighter Wing.
