Everyone has seen videos of other people doing it. Of course, the people are usually famous, 2 people that jump to mind is Steve Largent, who got to take a ride with the Blue Angels when he was playing for the Seahawks, and Nick Lachey with in the last 2 years.

Is this something that is possible, just have to know the right people to do it, or pay up some big dollars to do? Or is this just another perk of being a star in the public's eye, either thru Entertainment or Sports?

I know theres some places out there that you can pay and do simulated dog fights in the air, but its not with actual fighter jets.

Anyone know? This is something I've always wondered about and wanted to do, just have a feeling I won't be able to unless I had someone on the inside who could pull strings.
