Have you ever flown on a military aircraft

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Have you ever flown on a military aircraft (Page 1 of 5)

Just curious how many arfcommers have actually been in the air on a military aircraft. If your one of the lucky civilians who have flown on a military aircraft you count too. Civilian aircraft used as charters do not count.

Unfortunately the only military aircraft I have flown on was a POS C5, we flew from McCord to Louisville, Ky then back. No windows and the pos broke down delaying our return.

Shocking huh

We landed at Louisville as Ft Knox's airfield was too small. We had to get out in the middle of a taxiway, while standing out there a inbound commercial flight declared an emergency and the airport had to bring just about every vehicle they could find to get us out of there.

Not the "cool" one, though. The normal cargo one.

I don't know what it was but it dropped me off in AFG and picked me up 7 months later.

Planes are weird I'm a skid kid

Not that I've ever flown in a helicopter either I pretty much only know what cobras and Huey's are because I was in a HMLA.

Closest I've come to it is sitting inside the cockpit of an F-14 Tomcat while it was in the hangar. I was about 9 years old. I remember the interior having a well worn look like a high mileage car. They wouldn't let me turn on the electrical power though to play with the lights.

Sorry every time I freaking search anything on this site nothing comes up.

I could probably search Trump and get nothing.

Edit: Five months is probably the longest dupe callout I have ever seen! When I do this again in February I promise to include Enlisted Aircrew and will phrase it as in instead of on.

A military plane flew over the freeway one time while I was driving to work. That's probably the closest I've ever been to one.

T-28 trainer. Belonged to a flying club on a navy base and the pilot was navy, so I'll stretch the definition and call it a military aircraft.

Jumped from C-130's, C--141's, Hueys, Blackhawks and Chinooks. Favorite jumps were tailgate C-130's.

If you have never flown overseas in a military aircraft, you are in for a surprise. First Class accommodations on commercial airlines are nothing in comparison. Deluxe beds. Great chow and beautiful stewardesses. You'll love it, but sometimes they drop the rear hatch and you have to jump out. How rude.
