I met this guy…call sign “Jughead”

Just a real good story. This is a must read!!! Ever wonder what it like to bail out at 730 mph from an F15 Eagle? This guy also flies a Cessna 170.

BCP member “JUGHEAD” in Reno is truly an inspiration!!!

The title says it all. He flies a 170, flew a F15, now flies for the Patriot Jet Team and is one of us…BUT…he has a story that only a few have… :shock:

After meeting him in Reno this weekend I was truly inspired to hear more about his story that I personally find, just amazing.

Jon Counsell, call sign “Jughead” has a real flying story. I came home from the races that day and googled, searched and continued to search to find really not that much on him, but then this am, out of pure infectious inspiration (I would give anything to fly a fast jet like the F15) I found this article on his story.

He bailed out of his F15 at around 730mph (thats around mach 1.3 or 1.4)… #-o #-o :shock:

The story gets even better with the recovery, self conviction etc. If your into flying or self motivation this is a very good short read. Check it out. This gentleman needs to be our presenter at JC next year! He can come heli-skiing anytime he wants in my book!

It was my pleasure to meet him!
