One way to get to ride in military aircraft is if you
are an ACTIVE member of Civil Air Patrol.  One of the 
little known "bennies" is that with competent Air Force
orders, you get to ride on military airplanes.  In the
last three years, I have ridden on KC-135s, C-130s, T-43s,
and a C-118.  Several of my cadets have ridden in a T-37.
I am negotiating a ride in an F-16B for later this summer.

Another way is if you are an accredited journalist.  The
public affairs offices of the Air Force have amazing powers
to get rides for people.

Good luck
