Did mine last week in Oklahoma. Riverside - Ardmore - Fort Smith. Had a Citation holding short for me landing in Fort Smith then as I was taxiing to the FBO for refuelling the nice woman in the tower had an F-18 Hornet wait for me, had to taxi all the way up to him then turn off right in front of him. Pretty intimidating looking down the nose of an F-18 when you're sat in a C152! The pilot actually saluted me as he taxied past - only in America!!!! Then to put the tin lid on it I was guided to parking by a marshaller!! Kind of wish I could do it over and over again, stuck in the Sim for the next 20 hours. Ah well, I guess it's all part of the learning curve!
