Have you ever wondered what it feels like to strap into a high-performance fighter jet?

FlightGlobal's Ryan Finnerty takes us for a ride aboard Textron's Beechcraft M-346N, a derivative of the Leonardo M-346 trainer that Textron hopes to sell to the US Navy.

Afterward, Ryan is joined by Craig Hoyle and Greg Waldron who share their own stories of cockpit reporting, including nerves, nausea and the pressure of arming your own ejection seat.
