US Naval unit Strike Fighter Squadron 27 released an incredible YouTube video documenting what life is like inside a supersonic F/A-18E Super Hornet.
Filmed with GoPro-style cameras, the five-minute video captures awesome footage from the inside of the jets' cockpits as the pilots perform a series of amazing maneuvers. The video is a trailer of a longer film "Shoot 'Em If You Got 'Em," which will debut at the NAF Atsugi Spring Festival on May 3.
