TIL: Only human imagination can create something Ronda Rousey would fear. Individual humans got nothin' for her.

2) Tom Cruise was amazing, he pushed himself to get a fast time and he was incredibly down to earth.

Cruise was actually a member of my club in the US (SCCA). He had done a film with Paul Newman, and Paul convinced him to try motor racing. Tom was fairly quick, but a bit aggressive. Only video I can find at the moment is some fan's thing on the grid at a club track in the Southeastern US. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUbuyLjuzqs

Quick question about the industry: my g/f is a Detention Officer, and she finds that she actually likes it. She's thinking about "upgrading" to patrol (County Sheriff's dept.). Any advice?

Wow, that was fantastic. I actually haven't done any voice work in 25 years (local DJ making commercials), but the man hits the nail on the head. (Doesn't he? :D )

Unfortunately, becoming a pro doesn't seem like it's possible for me. I started smoking cigarettes again when I left radio. But when I hear Jon Bengamin, that temptation comes back. Is there any interest in the industry for those of us who are a little "raspy", or has Jon cornered the entire market for that sound?

I know I'm late to the party (again!), but hoping for an answer if you see the question, Cap'n.

I first saw the Blue Angels perform in 1974. They were in F4s. However, many of their "trademark" maneuvers (Delta Break, formation rolls, solo passes, etc.) were already in the show. After I was an adult, I heard that the F4 was a bit of a brute, and was amazed that I actually witnessed F4s doing what they do in F18s today. Since you've actually driven both, can you give an opinion on the relative difficulty pilots would face in either aircraft?
