I got an hour in a T-38 once. I was PIC whenever we were above 10K feet. Man, that was awesome! I didn't know you could sweat that much and still stay alive (nervous sweat and sitting in a canopy in the summertime in New Mexico).

Got to around mach .95 We weren't in a supersonic corridor so we couldn't go mach 1 but we got close enough.

Didn't soil the cockpit but did let go on the tarmac on the way back to the squadron. hahahahah

Almost got a ride in a TR-1B in England but they ended the incentive rides when the guy who went up right before my turn had the canopy pop and they had to ship the plane back to Beale for repairs. Waaah!!

I even know what a TR-1B is!

You have lived a graced life!

I would love to hear all of these stories... but, I'll need a drink in my hand!
