Wish I'd been doing my pilot training back then, would have loved to have
logged it (would it be too late now?)


I had a friend at Ramstein AB, Germany who was a WCS (Weapons Control
Systems) technician and a student pilot at the Ramstein Aero Club. He got a
backseat ride in an F-4E Phantom, and his pilot entered the flight into his
logbook observer time. Way cool. I can't recall if he put the flight time
under the "dual received" column or just left the hours column blank, been
too many years.

I got my F-4E ride before I started training as a student pilot, so didn't
get to have my flight put in my logbook, something I regret. But on the
other hand, the ride was what inspired me to sign up at the aero club and go
for my ticket, so I guess it balances out...
