I did it in an F-111F. An incentive ride for winning Load Crew of the Year competion in the USAF. That was back in 1991. I think about it constantly, to this day.
Katie did fly with me all the time when she was a little kid. I would put two cushions in the front of a T-34 and we flew quite often. She loved to fly and her favorite saying was "I have the aircraft." Then a couple of my friends died in separate crashes, including a T-34 losing a wing. My family asked that I not fly because they felt it was too dangerous. so I stopped flying until Christmas 3 years ago when my gift from my girls was to have their blessing to fly again.
You two just made me laugh, cry, and feel proud to be an American in under 6 minutes. Five stars! The luckiest father and the luckiest daughter I have ever seen on youtube. Best of luck to all your family!
