I voted F4, but would change my vote to JU-87 if it was the tank-buster version:
 STUKA JU 87 G type - Tank buster! And I'd need some tanks to, you know, bust. |

I've always wanted a ride in a P-51 but truthfully would love a ride in about any WWII era fighter. I get to see a lot of them every year at the Reno Air Races.
I have about 23 hours in the back seat of an EA-6B from the early 70s, including a Cat and Trap on USS Constellation. Not very sexy but still way cool. I can say GRU-7 ejection seats are not very comfortable for a cross country flight.  Attached File |

F-4.
A guy I know flew both the F-4E and F-15A/C in the STL guard. He said the Eagle is awesome but the F-4 is hands down the better flying airplane. I’m too old to pull 6g’s. Give me an F-4, three bags of gas and a low level route and I’ll die a happy man! TC |

It's easy to go fly a TF51.
You just need around 4 grand an hour. If you do it, and you should, highly recommend going to Kissimmee FL to Stallion51. Crazy Horse 2 was a lot of fun. That hour went way too quickly. |

From the list the F4 or the Mustang.

You want to fly in the Hornet, trust me.
Why, you ask? Simple. High AOA. It is a freaking blast. You feel laid back like the space shuttle all while doing about 100kts. |

Not sure what you're asking. If your talking a one time ride along from your list of options, no question, B1! Take off and climb out w/ full AB. Oh yeah!! If you're asking given the key for a few hours to fly alone, I'd take the P-51 from your list.
Now if you talking winning the mega bucks and buying a plane to fly all the time, PC-12 would be my first choice. |

Pretty much all of them.
If I had the connections to make it happen, I'd go for rides in these as a priority in no particular order. U-2 - edge of space seems like a good time. SR-71 - edge of space seems like a good time, but hauling incredible amounts of ass while doing it A-10 - BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT F-14 - because of course. P-51 - history and style P-38 - see above Stearman - an extreme historical example and there are still more than a few airworthy these days
