Amazing isn’t it? All my life I wished I could just once have the chance to fly in a fighter jet — you know, screaming toward the sun with my hair on fire. Being the weenie I am, I’d get airsick and probably pass out, but oh how I wish I could. My heart is with them — those boys of the sky — someday, maybe someday. What a rush that would be. Sorry, don’t mean to sidetrack this very, very outstanding thread.

I once had the very great privilege of a “check ride” in the back seat of a Navy F-18B. Absolutely astounding.

That said, there are a number of firms in the US that, for a fee, can provide you with a ride in a retired fighter jet. I strongly recommend that you find one and do so if you wish and can afford it.
