Delta did a great job. Pay a few extra bucks and you get a nice ride.
Riding around (well I guess it is parked outside) in a new Cadillac
crossover now.

I've never done it, but I hear flying first class will accomplish that. I can honestly say that most
civilian aircraft provide nicer treatment than most military aircraft! However, on the trip to
Vietnam, on a civilian aircraft chartered by the military, the treatment was spectacular.
Friendliest stewardesses I've ever seen.

About 3x what a cheap ticket costs. You can usually get a deal by
buying an upgradable coach seat and adding the upgrade but that may
not be available on all flights.
I know it is an extravagance but being treated like a customer and not
cargo is worth it.

The only time I flew military was Jamaica to Gitmo. You are right, it
was nasty. They treated me like a VIP (IBM contractor) and I got to
fly in a bigger seat behind the cockpit but it was still pretty rough,
It was one of those "Berlin air lift" type planes. (C54)

When I was a reporter for the KC Star, I got to fly out to the Air Force
Academy in a two-seater trainer jet, which was cool, and flew back in a
DC3, which was less cool but still cool. :)

I was in the Air Force, but the only military aircraft I flew on we're
hopping rides a couple times. Every time the government sent me somewhere,
it was either commercial or charter. I had a couple nice rides, and a
couple rough rides. One on a C135, cargo 737. 14 people and luggage was
only cargo. Deadhead back from SEA. 250 knot tail wind, average about 800
mph ground speed,. C121 logistics command VIP flight from Write-pat to
Logan Utah. Even beer for sale. Very nice plane, mostly civilian
engineers.

Here I'm thinking C-124, C-130, C-7a, C-5 and probably a couple others I can't remember. None were
comfortable. All had web seating.

Wife and I took a ride in a Waco biplane a couple of months ago. 1947 radial engine craft. What a blast! We sat up front, and the pilot sat in back.. 45 minute ride around Key West. First Class all the way. :)

While in Vietnam I got a ride on an OV-10 Bronco. The pilot took us through loops and rolls. I took
me through five barf bags, a couple more than once! I'd been doing great until the pilot asked if I
was getting sick yet.
