Being an Airforce brat that had a father that made Brigadier and dating the daughter of a flight surgeon in Osan Air Base ROK, I was able to go up and fly in quite a few planes. I flew from Camp Zama in Tokyo to San Diego in a C5. Believe it or not, the seating area only fits about 40 or so but the cargo area is HUGE! You could play a game of football in the belly of that beast. They called it the Flying Tigers and cost $20.
I also flew in a F-16B (dual seat for training), AC-130 while it performed the pillar maneuver but never shot off a single round since it was training, and last but not least, a T-38 which is used to train jet pilots. My ultimate dream was to fly in an A-10 while it did its straffing runs but that just wasn't in my future anytime soon. All the planes I flew in were dual seat and more or less sight seeing missions. I was never in them when they went on gunning runs at Suwon AB or anywhere else.
