F104 but not listed so A-10.  Both would kill me since ive only piloted a c150 and a 172.

The latest incarnation of the F-15EX is pretty insane...

I think yanking and banking at 300' above the dirt while supersonic would probably be an adrenalin dump few people could actually handle...


Although the SR-71 does have a certain mystique that no other plane can match... But at 100,000' you wouldn't notice the speed. I would rather go blasting through a valley at speed, kinda like in the movie Firefox.


P.S. More people have flown in the space shuttle than the SR-71...

Interesting people mention the P-51 and B-17.

Both of those are available to go ride in.

I call you up and ask you if you'd like to Go with me and see a movie

I voted p51 but if historic aircraft are included i would vote for Grumman F6F. My father built them before he enlisted in the USN.
Did the Navy assign him to an aircraft carrier? Did the Navy assign him to a naval air station? No! They made him a gunner on a liberty ship.

I have had the pleasure of flying a Stearman several times and an A4 trainer in college .
The open cockpit of the Stearman is an experience every pilot should have.

The most awesome crews ever. I grew up around RG. Quail hunted near there and l know we got lite up a few times. So cool. It seemed like they could float.
Flash foreword, we own a place at lake of the O. I love it when they come over in pairs. Man, so cool. I sleep well. Thanks hog guys!

P-51 or A-10


There used to be a outfit up near St Augustine Fl that had WW2 Navy trainers - I checked into it in the early 90s, apparently for $1500 then you could go up, you got a half day of ground school including emergency parachute use, they'd take off and land and you do the flying inbeween.  They also had "guns" that shot radio waves and could trigger smoke to pop from the other planes...


About 15 years ago I heard about a similar outfit down in S. Florida that had repro P51 trainers set up, dunno if they had the dogfight setup or not though.

Dru Blair painting. One amazing artist. I always wanted to buy his paintings as a kid, but I had no money. But I would get the catalog to have and look through.

F-4 Phantom II. Just like dad flew.

If I could obtain and fly an actual military aircraft as a civilian aircraft... the OV-10 Bronco would be fucking cool.

I voted F-anything, because it was the closest to what I'd choose. SR-71, F-22, then A-10. Tough choice, but I took speed over fire power.

Same here. Both are rather forgiving to fly, based on what I've read anyway, which would be ideal for an amateur like me.

A former coworker is in that elite SR-71 club. He also worked with Kelly Johnson at The Skunk Works.

Most likely I would say the blackbird because who doesn't like to go fast but given the situation that I could only fly one plane I'd fly something with more agility and capabilities like the F15 or F22 to get my frills even though I might be puking my guts out
