As a former blunty of sorts, [but who spent many happy hours flying in anything, anywhere, because bludging 'rides' was a passion], my own personal doctrine was that the ONLY reason anyone other than aircrew were in the air force , was to allow them to fly aircraft. No matter how essential other people are, ultimately their reason for being is so aircraft can fly.
I only wish I'd kept a log of my flying , but I can recall well over 40 different types. I would have to toss up to decide if the best were the backseats of a Skyhawk at low level, or the front seat of a Stearman, [which I had to pay for!], or that wonderful Hunter trip at Tengah with 20 Sqn.
I don't see a problem.
