What about relatives of aircrew, do they ever get a flight? (Just curious)
I wish! My bro is on the F3, I would have had a trip in one by now if that was the case. Maybe he's just pi**ed off that a lowly SAC Rigger Mech broke the speed of sound before he did.
The phone call from 19 Sqn Line to 100 Sqn Ops in Cyprus back in 89 went something like this..
'Hi bro, I got a medical tomorrow..'
'Great, you wanna come flying with me again tomorrow?'
'No! I've a trip in a tomb'
'Wan*er'
