Fayetteville firefighter-paramedic Ryan Hyde spent 35 minutes in a Navy Blue Angels F/A-18 Super Hornet, FOX 5 Atlanta reported. The ride honored him for helping revive a 6-year-old in cardiac arrest. Over Peachtree City he went through vertical climbs that pulled as much as 7.5 Gs, more than seven times his usual weight.
The flight was a community recognition ahead of the weekend Atlanta Air Show at Falcon Field. The station's account is about that honor and the save that prompted it, not about a promise for every similar call.
