that was fantastic! although i couldnt help wondering how long ppl have to train for in order to just step inside one of those fighter jets. the perks of being Rick eh? haha
3:00 Some say, that his guard dog is a polar bear, and that his other "car" is the Avro Arrow. All we know is, he's not The Stig... he's The Stig's Canadian Cousin!
And now Josh is an astronaut! Inspiring :)
Who, other than Rick Mercer, is told "Do whatever you want" went given control of a CF-18 jet?
NO ONE
Who would’ve known that rick would be in the cockpit flying a CF-18 with a future astronaut! How exciting is that..
I love how he laughs the whole time they're doing rolls and stuff in the Hornet
I love how he's smiling through the whole video; I guess we're all kids at heart! Jeez, what I wouldn't give to be Rick for a day...
"You don't like no dancer to me." lol
Rick if you want to retire I will GLADLY take your job :) You do EVERYTHING so awesome!
I will never understand why Rick gave up this job. We miss you RM!! ♥️
Those are some niiiice cars!
i love living in Cold Lake Alberta :D
Ah the Mercer Report. These segments just makes you smile. Good times. :)
met Rick at a function few years back,,great and funny guy,,,like his work..
lol "I DIDN'T BERF!"
6:20 Rick becomes the happiest person in the sky... You lucky bugger!
the weather makes me think this is Top Gear UK.
Zomg I love Canada! I am so happy that iI live here.
Wow... that's AWESOME.
Mercer you lucky bugger I'm so envious!
It always works, Rick mercer reports at midnight, amazing.
I love Rick Mercer! But I love our Military even more!
race the base is a multi-day event, so i'm assuming they were there for a few days. Weather changes fast in Cold Lake lol
Ah Rick.... you lead a charmed life.
Wow. Awesome video!!
Just a big kid. Luv it.

Maj Josh Kurtryk has been selected as one of 2 Canada's new Astronauts (he is the pilot)
"I DIDN'T BARF!" - Thumbs up for not barfing!
I wonder if he ever came to where I live (BFC Bagotville) .. God I would love to fly in an CF-18 once in my life xD
🔥🔥🔥😻😍🙏, 3:35 that face
fantastic!!
I've been there but not at the time this video was published
Your going to make me sick know. I lost it. Lmfao.😂😂😂😂
I didn't berf!
“Now you’re gonna make me sick” lol
Hi, Mrs Mercer, lucky to be passenger in a jet !!. my profile picture not my Lamborghini. If I was rich I would not buy a Lambo. have a great.
Id be so scared of hydroplaning someone else's car off the runway D:
The drive home in the mini van...LOL
Good Stuff
😁😁😁😁Awesome
3:00 Some say, that his guard dog is a polar bear, and that his other "car" is the Avro Arrow. All we know is, he's not The Stig... he's The Stig's Canadian Cousin!
Who has the coolest job on the planet !! RM & not tossing his cookies !! LOL
did he say goes like Stig? like a top gear reference?
Stink, I don't think that rick mercer watches top gear
Does he have a maple leaf on the top of his helmet?
they just chalked it up as pilot training in his allotted flight hours. I'd gladly make a large donation though.
2:00 is that a supra!
wow so cool...however are you going to retire from all of this ?? lol
I thought this was the one in Halifax
who else noticed how is was a dry runway, then a wet runway, then suddenly dry again?
*Is that a Supra?*
Although there are dozens of Ferrari parking at the airport, everyone paid attention to the hornet...
Go pros!!
thats the way it should be
this was his assignment? go fly in an F18? What? What job is this this? Holy sh..!!!
Oooohhhhhh... I'm dizzy now...
Two dreams.....ferrari on a closed course and take me for a ride in a fighter jet!
biggest voice crack at 4:31
And some drunken local crashed into a bunch of the visiting cars later in the day. Yeah, I can say that, I live in that city.
so exciting!(>_
The plane is airborne... the car is not airborne.
I vote for Jann Arden to go Mach 1
Who else is here due to online school?
CF-18 is by far cooler thena lambo/ferrari
