RMR: Rick at Race the Base 

Who, other than Rick Mercer, is told "Do whatever you want" went given control of a CF-18 jet?

I've been there but not at the time this video was published

And now Josh is an astronaut! Inspiring :)

2:00 is that a supra!

😁😁😁😁Awesome

I will never understand why Rick gave up this job. We miss you RM!! ♥️

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

this was his assignment? go fly in an F18? What? What job is this this? Holy sh..!!!

Maj Josh Kurtryk has been selected as one of 2 Canada's new Astronauts (he is the pilot)

"You don't like no dancer to me." lol

met Rick at a function few years back,,great and funny guy,,,like his work..

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...

Rick if you want to retire I will GLADLY take your job :) You do EVERYTHING so awesome!

the weather makes me think this is Top Gear UK.

Ah the Mercer Report. These segments just makes you smile. Good times. :)

I didn't berf!

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.

Those are some niiiice cars!

i love living in Cold Lake Alberta :D

lol "I DIDN'T BERF!"

Wow. Awesome video!!

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.

Zomg I love Canada! I am so happy that iI live here.

Wow... that's AWESOME.

fantastic!!

It always works, Rick mercer reports at midnight, amazing.

6:20 Rick becomes the happiest person in the sky... You lucky bugger!

Mercer you lucky bugger I'm so envious!

Id be so scared of hydroplaning someone else's car off the runway D:

Your going to make me sick know. I lost it. Lmfao.😂😂😂😂

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

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

3:00 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!

Just a big kid. Luv it.

who else noticed how is was a dry runway, then a wet runway, then suddenly dry again?

I love Rick Mercer! But I love our Military even more!

Good Stuff

“Now you’re gonna make me sick” lol

"I DIDN'T BARF!" - Thumbs up for not barfing!

did he say goes like Stig? like a top gear reference?

I thought this was the one in Halifax

Who else is here due to online school?

they just chalked it up as pilot training in his allotted flight hours. I'd gladly make a large donation though.

Oooohhhhhh... I'm dizzy now...

The drive home in the mini van...LOL

thats the way it should be

Although there are dozens of Ferrari parking at the airport, everyone paid attention to the hornet...

Who has the coolest job on the planet !! RM & not tossing his cookies !! LOL

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.

Does he have a maple leaf on the top of his helmet?

Two dreams.....ferrari on a closed course and take me for a ride in a fighter jet!

Go pros!!

🔥🔥🔥😻😍🙏, 3:35 that face

*Is that a Supra?*

I DINDNT BERF!

wow so cool...however are you going to retire from all of this ?? lol

The plane is airborne... the car is not airborne.

I vote for Jann Arden to go Mach 1

biggest voice crack at 4:31

so exciting!(>_

CF-18 is by far cooler thena lambo/ferrari
