CONGRATULATIONS WpgLwr!! Yes, that's what I volunteered for. (Wish me luck!!) History: The Collings Foundation has spent over 8 years restoring an F-4D (the only privately owned F-4 in the world). 8 pilots get to be qualified to fly the plane to airshows around the country. The pilots fly the airshow and give rides to folks who pay for the privilege of flying in the F-4. The Collings Foundation currently has 5 pilots qualified to fly their F-4D. I (REALLY) hope to be one of the other 3. And since I live 5 miles form where they hangar the jet, I'm the perfect choice (I think anyway!) I flew the F-4 for 5 years in the Air Force (1500 hours worth) and would LOVE to fly it again. Thanks to all who participated in this contest!! These are lots of fun!! It always amazes me how fast the CCF members figure out things! Lots of smart people collect coins apparently! WpgLwr please PM with your address and I'll get your War Nickel collection out to you! Nice work! Collings Foundation F-4D Report this Post to the Staff

jokingjoker Pillar of the Community United States 2150 Posts	Posted 11/16/2009 06:55 am OH man that was my guess till I asked "could anyone volunteer for this or you do have to have certification" I was thinking certification like a pilots liscence. oh well, congrats WpgLwr Report this Post to the Staff
Moe145 Pillar of the Community United States 8904 Posts	Posted 11/16/2009 07:37 am Quote: And how much IS that privilege of riding along? When I called the Foundation, they first thought I was interested in flying the airplane as a paying customer. The quoted me a $12,500 price tag for a 2 day program. The first day was classroom learning aircraft systems and emergency procedures and the second day you fly for around an hour. The Collings Foundation has a cool web site that talks all about what they do: CollingsFoundation.org. They're into a lot of neat things, including a few WWII bombers and old cars. Thank you all for the fun contest! Your many guesses were imaginative at times, for sure! Now, we need a new contest to keep us all from being bored! Next? Report this Post to the Staff
