Easy choice.....An F-15E Big Smile [:D]

Second choice would be an AC-130 in a left-hand circle over an anti-gun rally. Evil [}:)] Tongue [:P]Big Smile [:D]

Wisdom is the right use of knowledge. To know is not to be wise. Many men know a great deal, and are all the greater fools for it. There is no fool so great a fool as a knowing fool. But to know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom. " Charles Spurgeon

I would love to fly a P-51 or a P-40. I would just like to experience what the heroes from WW2 did.

I've been lucky. I was an air crew member on the T-33A and TF-102A. I also got to fly several times in the F-4D and E. I also got several flights in the T-39 in the right seat. That is a great acft to fly. I was able to HOTAS on most of the aircraft I have flown in. With over 400 hours of flying I never got sick.

I also have my private pilots certificate and just recently broke the 1,000 hour mark.

I suppose an X-wing fighter from Star Wars is a bit too much to ask, eh?

There are three flyable P-47 Thunderbolts within easy driving distance of where I live. Every time I see one of them at a show, I just envy the hell out of the guy who is flying it. Closest I will ever get is "Jane's WW2 Fighters" I'm afraid.

MMM Mustang! Drool, drool! Just to start up a RR Merlin would be a thrill! That, or any hose-nose with a PW 2800! But then, who wouldn't want to bore holes in the sky on top of a J-79...ok, make it two J-79's in an F-4! Too many choices...brain hurt!

We know 'em, we love 'em, and we build 'em, but if you could grab the stick and throttle of ANY aircraft for an hour, what would it be? Tough choice, but I'd love to strap on a Mustang and take it for a ride!
