Back


Watch as Patrick Raycraft, a Photojournalist for the Hartford Courant gets a thrilling ride in the two seat U. S. Navy Blue Angel F/A-18 Hornet fighter jet with Lt. Cdr. Kevin J. "Kojack" Davis, Blue Angel #7. The first week of March, Pat was in El Centro, California, photographing the winter training of the U.S. Navy Blue Angels Flight Demonstration Squadron. Pat flew almost 55 minutes in the cockpit. This is an amazing video of the highlights of that flight, taken with a cockpit camera recording directly on to a DVD recorder in the two seat F/A-18.
