From: William Daul Tymshare OAD Cupertino CA <WBD.TYM@OFFICE-2> Does anyone know if it is EVER possible for a civilian to experience a ride in a military jet aircraft (something alone the lines of the shuttle chase planes (in other words -- FAST planes)). I really want to experience this before I die...I just don't know how to go about making it happen. Thanks for any leads, --Bill Daul (POSTMASTER@OFFICE)

#R:sri-arpa:-1749100:zinfandel:3500002:000:302 zinfandel!berry Mar 14 13:54:00 1984 In a recent (last year or so) magazine -- either Road & Track or Car and Driver, I forget which -- there was an article by a civilian writer about a ride he took in a Marine Corps Phantom jet. Apparently they gave him a ride just so he could write about it. So it IS possible, if rare. --berry

Enlisting is a great idea! If only there weren't all those other people who wanted to fly jets. My grandmother wants to fly jets! Ralph Keyser ihnp4!inuxc!ralph
