While I can't say nay to that, I have to defer to Neil Armstrong, who once said the next best thing to flying a jet fighter was riding a good motorcycle. While I haven't flown a jet either, I've ridden some pretty good bikes in my time. Unless you've done that as well your comparison might be stretching things a bit. I've driven some fairly fast cars too, and 150 mph on the ground is a fair bit of excitement.
I don't question your enthusiasm, especially since it does look like a lot of fun. Just the comparison.
I have been up in an ultralight, and I have flown a hang glider. Also fun.
