What Military Aircraft have you Flown on?

Just curious, I guess. My experiences have been:
C-130A from U.S. to Azores, then to Germany; also return flight.
C-130B from MA to TN & return
C-141B from Westover AFB, flew up and around Vermont, NH & return
C-5A from Westover to Hanscom AFB - this was the best, as I got to sit in the cockpit!

What about you guys?

Re: What Military Aircraft have you Flown on?

Cool, here's my jet time:

F-5B at Villamor Air Base in the Philippines
T-38 at NASA Ames, Moffet Field, Ca
T-33 at Castle Air Force Base, Ca

Update:

I sat in an F-15 cockpit and played with the knobs - does that count?
Also had 'simulator' time on Singer/Link Systems while interning at NASA Ames. Also, I almost took that "Mig Adventures"
- a Mig 25 high-altitude ride package back in June of Y2K, but got side-tracked by other priorities in life.

When I was in the Air Force from 1980-1986 I flew on a C-130, C-141 and a C-5a Galaxy. Flew in that back from Cairo, Egypt back in August, 1983 to the USA. Sweeeet! Also flew in Aircorba copter over the Giza Strip. That was too cool! When I was in Egypt during a joint-military excerise called "Bright Star" I have a picture of me inside a cockpit of a Egyptian Mig 15...YES a Mig-15! Last year I flew with the wife on a 1928 Sterman at the Fantasy of Flight, just south of Orlando. I will have to dig out the photos and post them on here when I have time. Will not be tomorrow as I have to have tarpel tunnel surgery on my left wrist at 8 AM!

Yes, I blew chunks on the F-16. The pilot was impressed; he'd never heard anyone throw up so noisily that he could hear them over the engine noise before.
