Default Re: TA-4 Skyhawk back seat ride

Well JR, that could border on impossible and even if you could you would HAVE to remortgage your house! To my knowledge there are no known civilian owned F14 Tomcats and our military retired them some time ago. My understanding is only Iran continues to fly the F14 and I think we both know a ride from them aint gonna happen! Your best bet would be to go to Russia and fly in one of their MIG 29's (upwards of $50k). Not a cheap adventure but very similar to the F14. When the movie Top Gun was produced 26 years ago it cost the production company $20,000 per HOUR to rent the F14.

Here is another shot of the TA-4J my brother sent me this morning.
