I know the Air Force will likely not like you periscope or even take pics but surely the banner for Dark City and MITD will be allowed to be flown behind the plane, right?

That was an obvious condition of mine.

My psychiatrist has told me more than once to lower my expectations.

So have you posted that last show that you had to get past the lawyers?

2 lawyers gave it the go ahead - I believe it will air Friday.

Awesome! Can't wait. Though the thing about lawyer and accountants is....it is their clients who bear the burden, if any, of their advice.

Can't wait to hear the Kimye interview on Friday.

Those aren't actually flares. They're simply copies of GN books lit aflame.

Total missed opportunity! You should have been throwing turkeys out to promote the show. They can fly, right?

I hope you were keeping an eye out for UFOs while you were up there. Extremely cool

No UFOs. No UFOs and no drink cart.

Something I forgot to ask - maybe Duke knows - were those F-15s, uh, armed?

That's fucking awesome. Every year for the Melbourne Grand Prix an F-16 flies directly over my house and is the loudest fucking thing I have ever heard.

I'm so glad you got to have this experience Bateman. Thank you so much for sharing it with us.

Don't see any missiles, just fuel tanks. If you had asked if the 20mm cannons were carrying live ammo, I think you would have gotten a polite, but firm "neither confirm nor deny" answer. I'll be safe and go with that as well.

Hey Jaz, I think you meant F-18, not F-16.

Did you ever see a RAAF F-111 do the flame thrower stunt? They'd dump raw fuel, then ignite it by going to afterburner. Damned impressive, an evil looking flame as long as the jet itself roaring out the ass end of the a/c. Very cool.

Actually they did have a whole breakfast spread for us. Just not on the plane. The KC-10 did not seem designed with comfort in mind. Though they did install these seats:
