I have had the full cockpit experience since I was 16 and believe me there is nothing quite like this.
I have had a few military experiences, most memorable was the time I was in an RAF helicopter and the PILOT threw up. I have flown back seat in fast jets a few times, one time I was with a US marine in a Harrier and he let me fly it!
Military life is such fun, you have the most expensive toys! It is a pity people want to shoot at you.
