Vickers takes flight:

It’s fair to say that NASCAR driver #25-Brian Vickers has enjoyed a variety of unique and special opportunities as a result of his occupation. But on Thursday, the 21 year-old enjoyed arguably one of his most memorable personal experiences ever. He joined a very small group of civilians fortunate enough to ride in a U.S. Navy F-14 Tomcat from the VF-101 “Grim Reapers” fighter squadron, currently based at Naval Air Station Oceana (Virginia Beach, VA).
