Nope - I *think* it would be exhilarating though!

Ever think about how it feels to be a football and be place kicked by the best kicker in the world? Been there done that, WHEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! Zero to 150 knots in about 2 seconds! Share

No, But I did get ejector seat training. Way back in 1953 in Aviation training.

I understand, its rare but I was lucky, as an AIC I knew many of the pilots and a squadron CO gave me a ride in a Tomcat, (That was before they changed the rules about such things)
had to get a flight phy and take leave but what a rush that was!
