When I was in Northern Thailand, we had an Air Farce base (Udorn) about 12 miles from us. It was predominately an F-4 and U-2 base for missions over 'Nam (450 miles). A Zoomie buddy of mine got me into a program where I could ride in the back seat of an F-4 on a training mission. I was on the waiting list for what seemed like forever when he notified me my chance was coming up in about 3-weeks! Problem was, I was leaving the country about a week later.

After all that waiting, I never did get that ride.

P.S. - Ya' lost me on the Doors/Coors thing.
