Never say never. I grew up in the Air Force (Dad served 20 years), and served in the Army myself. I can remember on several occasions my dad taking me on the flight line in his 55 Chevy convertible when we were in Japan (1967 - 1970). Also, at the age of 12, my dad once let me drive his Corvair on a flight line in Plattsburg NY when it was snowed over (1972). Lots of fun doing donuts.
I worked with the U-2 program for 4 years as a contractor, and always wanted to ride in a chase vehicle, but that did not happen. I was able to sit in a cockpit of one though.
