Riding around (well I guess it is parked outside) in a new Cadillac crossover now. How moch of a bribe does it take to be treated humanely by an airline? 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. |

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) |

(C54) 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. |

(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. :) And Don will believe that. |

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. :) |

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. |
