More likely to the left 
I remember they start off with a high speed transition off the takeoff roll, trims up the flaps and gear, accellerates to 300 knots, then goes 65-70 nose up at the end of the runway....Dale begins laughing like a madman...
I remember they did an Immelman and pulled 7 or 8 g's... |

I just heard about his passing too, damn shame.
Irwin also flew backseat F-15D during a segment at Eglin AFB, FL. A full bird Colonel accompanied him to tackle a croc... funny to see a full bird in flight suit getting all muddy!!! He was also at the Ranger training center where they train Spec Ops on wildlife.... the Rangers stood around rolling their eyes as they watched Steve tackle another croc. |

This was taken the day of his ride while in Korea promoting his film Vampires (taken awhile back of course) but you can see he got his ride.
A friend who was there shared this photo with me, other folks were removed from it at their request.
Pony tailed Cruise in a Viper...amazing, guess anybody can really get a ride |

Yeah imagine the leisure suit/sunglasses hookup they would've gotten from Kim
In a thousand years the Kim regime will be known to history as the Polyester Dynasty |

| Man... Sociologists must have a lot of pull in the F-16 community. I would have thought Mormons have more. |

No, the pilots got a new popcorn machine out of it. One of those big movie theatre machines. |
