Detroit Red Wings defenseman Danny DeKeyser is still waiting to get a new contract as a restricted free agent two weeks before the start of training camp. To take his mind off of things, DeKeyser took to the skies on Tuesday with the U.S. Navy Blue Angels inside an F/A-18 Hornet. The Blue Angels were in town for Selfridge Open House and Airshow.
Here’s what DeKeyser had to say about his preparation for flying:
“I didn’t do anything to prepare. They put you through a little tutorial before and kind of tell you how to tighten your legs, and you got to squeeze certain muscles so you don’t pass out. You just got to do it to know what it feels like.”
I’m pretty jealous that he got to do this, it looked absolutely awesome.
