I would SO have loved to get a ride in the Chinook. Drat!
Civilians can do it. You just have to get famous enough!

Rock stars (ref. fish314 above), TV reporters, Radio show hosts, actors, sports stars, etc. still get to do publicity rides. Guess what? Authors do as well. Here's children's book author Jan Brett getting a ride in a Blue Angel, and she does a better job than most in handling the Gs!

Jan Brett rides with the Blue Angels

So, get cracking on some more hit novels.
