F-15B/D or F14, any. Back seat of course, lol. Don't make me puke, OK Maverick?
Once upon a time, my work involved RES, RDP, ECM, and all that that implies. RDP development kinda stuff, here in GA or on-site Huge Air Crash LA, Mugu, Pax, Eglin, beyond. Now, I just fish. |

First Warbird I saw in flight was a P38 that came in a screaming dive down over Phoenix International Raceway. It was the coolest thing I had seen at age 14 and still ranks up there at age 60.
P38. |

My girlfriend's dad flew them in Nam and he had a photo he took of a North Vietnam flag with big fat tracers coming at him hanging on the wall. One of the best photos I have ever seen. |

Just to fly a couple times? Probably the Bone.
To deploy? Hard to beat a P-3C. Those guys had it dicked... deployed to such hell holes as Bermuda, got per diem while doing it, and flew home for a squeeze half way through. |

Voted A-10 because I could probably fly one without killing myself.
Two turbo fans and a nice straight wing like what I fly every day. Would love a chance to fly any WW2 Warbird though. I've got no business in a 1500 to 2000 HP tail dragger like a Mustang or a Corsair but I could do a nice job in a B25, A26, B24, P38 or F7F. |
