I'd get in a fighter jet.

Just got off a commercial flight from Germany to Chicago. My ass hurts. Military flys you economy.
Yeah, 14 hrs loaded I wouldn't enjoy either. I was lucky, my 130 flights were short and empty of equipment. I guess my KC-135 flight from Dobbins ARB to Ramstein Germany was the longest at about 9 hrs but not bad with the crews we had.

If I had to guess, I've logged probably around 300,000 miles travelling by air. Even after all of those hours in planes, I'm still not a big fan of flying.
