This is at least the fourth time I've seen it on this site, and I think every moid in my life over the age of 40 has posted or shared it at least once. I believe this story activates something very deep in scrote psychology.

Wholesome homosocial bonding between the two copilots
Swinging their peepees around to mog the other flyboys
Reaping the glory of being a total badass without actually having to do much of anything (at its core, this is the thrilling tale of driving past a "Your speed is:" radar sign)
Reveling in patriotism and American military-industrial dominance.
Just a hint of wistful nostalgia: those were the good ole days, boy they don't make 'em like that any more!

I didn't say it was wrong. I said it's calculated to tweak your dumb nostalgic lizard brain that just wants to go fast with your bros and be cool without trying.
