In the F-4 (which, IMHO, was 1 meana$$ looking plane) I had missile lock on a Mig
I did want to take a spin in a SR-71. For some reason, they wouldn't let me.
One of my favorite places is the SAC museum, on I80 between Lincoln & Omaha. It’s a total hoot seeing all the old fighter planes, bombers and stuff. Many actually served in wartime. When you see how simple they were...looking like they were built in someone’s garage...and riddled with bullet holes. The plane offered virtually no protection for the occupants. Scary to think about, but it gives you an appreciation for those Airmen that served.
