Quote HistoryQuoted: I don't know anything about flying an SR-71 so I'm 110% talking out my ass, but why choose a plane that: 1) you can't see out of and 2) by the time you have step- and zoom-climbed up to an altitude where you can actually go fast, the sensation of speed is completely gone. Even if you're stuck in the back seat with no windows it's still a hell of a ride that not many people have experienced. |

From those in the poll the P51.
If I could do any, it would be an F5 or an F20. |

P-51 for historic.
F-16 for more modern. 9 g doesn't sound like fun anymore though.

P51D.
I used to clean a hangar that had one. One night, I climbed up into it, sat down, and closed the cockpit. Just me and that sweet airplane all alone. |

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 BTW, from my limited back seat experience, 6Gs in a Phantom was nothing. Those birds regularly came back from training missions with between 12 and 13Gs showing on the G-meter. I know of one Phantom that came home after a severe over-G that was estimated to have been 15Gs+. It broke the engine mounts and got home with the engines laying on the engine bay doors, held in place by the fuel and hydraulic lines. But it got the crew back home That bird went to the repair depot in pieces on 4 or 5 flatbed trailers, but it flew again. F-4E #66-300, about as vanilla as an F-4E could get.

"P51D.

One year at Airventure a fellow employee got drunk, climbed into a customer's Mustang, got mud all over it, and passed out. He no longer worked there. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I'm with ya! I'd even ride in the back seat playing WSO instead of fighting for the front seat. Preferably it would be something like 70-238, a jet with the improvements made after Viet Nam lessons but without the crazy digital systems they started installing in the 1971 models. I'd take a vanilla F-4E over a digital Phantom any day. BTW, from my limited back seat experience, 6Gs in a Phantom was nothing.

Fail, no N9M or YB-35 option.
Some of the aircraft listed would be too high a pilot workload or too automated to be much fun. I wonder though, how many folks here that dream of flying XYZ have ever flown anything? Every red blooded American with the slightest inclination need to do it.

I voted for P-51 because I've always had an obsession with it for some reason. I'm not even a pilot.
But A-10 would be impressive to fly I would think. I could see the F-4 as well. The Harrier always impressed me while we're at it. |
