Jet Fighter Ride

That's a possibility!! Have the site bookmarked. I've been into S. Jersey several
times I check with the shop there and see if they have any info on the L39,
Thanks!

How 'bout New Jersey? Dave Sutton offers rides in a Fouga Magister.

There's also an L-39 down at South Jersey Regional, but I don't know what they
do with it.

Why do men's hearts beat faster, knees get weak, throats become dry,
and they think irrationally when a woman wears leather clothing?
Because she smells like a new truck.

Well I turn the big 50 Wednesday, the plus side is that my wife has
agreed to fund one wild adventure. First, I thought sky diving, then
after a bad dream, I decided if you can fly a plane why jump out!

So my second choice was to try a find a ride in a jet fighter! There is
one about 50 miles away but I have been unable to track down the owner.
So I am now turning to you all! Is there anyone in the PA or Lower NY
area the has a T38 or even a L29 or 39 that would like to give an old
USAF Flight Sim guy a ride. I have many hours in C5, C141, F4, T38 and
T33 flight sim's, but would give my right arm for an hour in the real
thing.

If anyone can help let me know!

Little further away than PA or NY but hell you'll only be 50 once.

I saw a story on this place on one of the Discovery or Discovery like
networks. It looked like the guy really took care of the aircraft and
regularly went out for evening flights for the fun of it. He obviously has
more money than God, but they never mentioned where that money came from. My
first thought was he was an arms dealer. Not that there's anything wrong
with that.

Checked it out, looks like B17's and 24's. They are next on my want list!

Check with the Collings Foundation at http://www.collingsfoundation.org .
They have a restored F4-D that I would give my left ... for a ride in.
I believe they have a Texan that might instrest you.

FWIW, the T-38 is the nicest looking jet fighter. I really like the
T-38-on-a-stick at the entrance to Maxwell AFB.


I had a ride in the B-17. I'll never forget it. Highly recommended.

Just about anybody has more money than God.
