I'm afraid those days might have gone down with the new homeland security
issues.
Brings back memories though :-) I had a friend who was chief pilot for a
fairly large charter outfit flying stretch DC8's. I was given the rare
opportunity to actually fly one of their birds up to Fairbanks Alaska once
as a "guest" pilot.
It was a great experience and one I'll never forget. I actually got the damn
thing on the ground in one piece too :-)
Sorry if you don't get the chance to do this. It's the times I guess.

Hi all,
I seem to remember a few years back there was a program run by one of
the airlines where for a fee of around $1500 or so you would go and
train for a weekend on a Boeing 737 and at the end you would actually
get to fly one for half an hour or so.

Does anyone know if that program still exists? Any links would be
appreciated.
Thanks,
Hish
