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! Ron George Patterson wrote: Ronald Gardner wrote: If anyone can help let me know! How 'bout New Jersey? Dave Sutton offers rides in a Fouga Magister. http://aeroweb.lucia.it/~agretch/RedStarAviation.html There's also an L-39 down at South Jersey Regional, but I don't know what they do with it. George Patterson 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. |

"Ronald Gardner" wrote in message ... 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! Ron Gardner Little further away than PA or NY but hell you'll only be 50 once. http://www.flymig.com/ |

The Lightning has incredible climb erformance. I think there's also a couple of Buccaneers flying in South :Africa, too. http://www.capetownwebcam.com/extrem.../thunder_city/ 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. |

Ron Gardner 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. |
