At an R/C Air Show I got the chance to ride in one of those or a jump seat in a P-51 for $50 more donation to the Confederate Air Force. I picked the P-51.

Even the take off in the P-51 was more exciting. Pilot had to firewall it with the tail against a barbed wire fence and then pull the gear up as soon as it left the ground to clear telephone wires at the end of the runway. Actually they never got all that close to the wires, but it sure seemed like it from the jump seat.
