Those are awesome. One of my fave duties, ever, was when I was in the reserve I did two back-to-back ATs at Cherry Point on Pedro (VMR-1), a month of doing just SAR. Much different vibe than flying on them on deployment. I know the Army loves their Chinooks, but give me a Phrog any time!

I've flown in Sailplanes to C-5s but my favorite flight was a ride in a Stearman. My kids got me a ride in one and also a T6. There is a grass strip near my house that has two Stearmans along with other taildraggers. They come over the house at low altitude on the weekends, a grand sight to see! I've flown in Uh1s, Oh58s, C130s, C141s, Lockheed Constellation, Vickers Viscount, North American Navion, Convair turboprops, and all sorts of jet passenger planes from the 707 to the 747 but the Stearman was still the best.
