Wow. Just offered a ride.

[Mcstealth]

I was just offered a ride. 

Nice looking couple came into the steak house and they were both wearing polo shirts that had TexJets on them. I asked them what TexJets was, and he said it is an FBO at Meachum airport up near Fort Worth, Texas. I then asked what he flew and he said an L-39. I looked at him and said "the Russian trainer jet? An Albatross?" He obviously was very surprised I knew his plane. Long story short, after talking with him/them enough, he offerm me a ride!!!!! It is hangared here at KERV.

I'll never forgive you if you don't go!

I'm worse than that. When I fixed Old Yeller the current owner offered me a ride if I came up to his museum.

I haven't done it yet.

Those rides usually come with a gas bill, OUCH!

If you have gas money, jet warbird rides are easy to come by.

Worth every single cent of it too!

I have an hour+ dual in a p51 and the same in a p40.

it was the two first models I built growing up and #1 bucket list item for me. 
It was the biggest thrill of my life and anyone who passes up the opportunity is really missing out. Yolo...

Some years back I flew into Santa Fe with my Mooney.  Tower instructions were to "Follow the Mig".    Certainly not something I hear every day!
