What a cool plane
Talk to the right people and get yourself a ride in one of these bad boys!
i admit it would be cool, but since 9/11 there is a slim chance to get a ride in this bad ass jet.
You'd be surprised...
Back in 1959-60, Navy Patrol Swuadrons VP-46 and VP-42 flew the Martin Marlin P5M-1 and P5M-2 seaplanes out of NAS North Island at San Diego to San Clemente Island to practice firing 2-1/2-inch and 5-inch rockets on the other end of the island. There is a large rocky formation there we called Castle Rock, aka China Hat. The Navy SEALS now train out there, I have heard.
Ive had that ride as a flying Crew chief multiple times it is crazy. The mechanic bares the brunt

A fun job in 100 degree heat.
