ok....it doesnt have to be a fighter....any aircraft that you fly is good.

I know the F-16 does and most heavies I have flown on.....but what other fighters have air conditioning. Does the herky bird have it? How bout the hog?

What kind of bike do you have dirt?
-
I forgot.... Indiana State university is a good choice as well. Close to INDY, IU, PURDUE, U of I.....not a bad school.

yeah the Aprilia does get hot, but you must remember that she is not made to ride in city traffic. She is made for twisty road riding, and racing. great bike though....Next bike will def be naother Aprilia.
what do you ride now???

Like stated above the AF makes you take safety courses to ride on base and such. I personally feel that everyone should take MSF courses, miltary or civilian. It is a great class to teach basic skills that are needed to operate a motorcycle (cruiser, sportbike, supermotard...any bike).
But don't stop learning how to ride once the class is done, buy some books on riding techniques, and such ("Street Riding Tecniques" by Nick Ientasch is a great book). take a class on a closed course, attend a race school. Anything you can do to sharpen your skills will make you a much safer and better rider.
BUY GEAR....who cares how hot it is. you may be warm during a ride in city traffic, but once moving on back roads you will be comfortable. Yes quality gear is expensive, but a skin graph is MUCH more expensive, not to mention painfull.
I also agree with not riding during UPT...you will have plenty of time afterwards!!!!! I suggest riding on the race track only....much safer than street riding (NO cars, opposing traffic, cops, litter, deer...you name it!!!)
Its a ton of fun....only flying beats the thrill of draggin knee while leaned over in a sweeping turn...brings a smile to my face thinking about it!!!
