Other notables with no video:
-having rockets shot at you in flight, factor of 10
-falling off the cliff at the end of the runway in Guam on an 820,000 pound take off, factor of 10
-mid air near collisions, factor of 10
-Flying in the leading edge of a hurricane, Factor of 8

List could go on for awhile, been a pretty crazy ride...
