That was back in Ohio many years ago--this company toured the country, stopping at smaller rural airfields offering rides. It was really cool--I was the only one there that day, and got to hang out with the pilot before the flight (he even took some video of me as I sat in the cockpit!). One of the things we covered before the flight was the "ejection" sequence, which was basically unbuckle your seat harness, slide back the canopy, and climb out on the wing until you fall off (no rocket-booster seats back then)! I've also taken a few helicopter rides, including one over the Black Hills in the front seat of a bubble-canopy bird, and another in a Huey at an airshow (sitting in the doorway, with nothing but a tiny waist-belt to keep me in). I love flying! Next up is an open-cockpit WWI type plane, whenever I can find one offering rides.
