I attended an Airshow meeting for Seymour-Johnson AFB today. The Blue Angels confirmed that are still planning on flying at our airshow on the 12th of May.

Join the Air Force? Or you could fly out to S. Africa and book a flight on one of the Thunder City Lightnings or Buccaneers.

.... or the Russians will let you fly in a Fulcrum, Flanker or Foxbat for around £10,000. I might be a bit off on the price but its in that ballpark.

Unfortunately the military isn't in the habit of giving civvies demo flights...

You could always become some sort of celebrity that has recruiting value LOL

In all seriousness...as somebody above me mentioned, join the Air Force and you never know what might happen...as a crew chief on B-2s I had the priviledge of getting a ride on a -15E that landed at our base with engine trouble that myself and 3 others fixed, so they gave each of us a 45 minute flight.

Let me be the first to say, that it is the most fun you can have with your clothes on!
