This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

Just to be real quick. Everyone that flies in the jet must have a current medical. It goes with all the other requirements that they need in order to receive the training.
We also do an ejection seat course for EVERY person. Even if we have a multiple people for a weekend, each person goes through it individually. Because of the nature of these jets, and because these people are going to actually be doing some flying, we have to get way more in depth than your standard ride. If you spend time around the Tour, you'll notice that they do the same with the Mustang as opposed to the two bombers. We make sure the helmets and masks are fitted correctly as well. We have several different sizes to accommodate folks.
