No I am not offering tours to Baghdad

( though I did once read that you could go on a human safari in Bosnia, idea being you could pay to snipe muslims )
I found a super cool site where you can fly a MIG 25 " FOXBAT " and a load of other crazy things they can help you to do.
Wish I had the cash I would love to go in a FOXBAT:

If you love to puke that much, try an "extreem roller coaster"! It will be a lot cheaper in the long run, ha ha!

I love coasters, but have not ridden one for quite a few years now.
A foxbat would surely be a better story to tell the grandchildren. Edge of space at Mach 3

See now what i didnt see is the disclamer. Folks such as myself could never go on one of these extreme tours. Reason one size. Im 6'3" 280 lbs or so. Still carrying myself rather well too thank you very much. Anyhow i cant fit into the dam plane unless they have made special modifications to the aircraft that would allow me to ride in it. Which would bring me to reason 2 people of my size have no buisness being anywhere near zero g. Cuz to get there you are gonna have to pull a few manuvers that will bring several g's into the picture and if someone my size starts pulling a few g's they would black out. Nothing to be ashamed of its pure physics.
So you young and lil people enjoy your silly trips to space and just remember to send me back a post card.
