I got a couple of rides in the back seat of a T-33 Shooting Star trainer while I was a weapons avionics tech assigned to a NORAD fighter squadron for 7 years.
First one with the Squadron Commander. I made the mistake of saying...
"Lets see what this baby can do."
I didn't pass out, maybe because I was wearing a g-suit. I did puke my guts out and felt sick all through the next day.

About 4 years later I went up again with the Squadron Maintenance officer.
Once airborne he asked "Do you want to do aerobatics or fly vectors?"
My response was immediate... "Vectors Sir."
He got clearance from ATC to fly vectors around the Olympic Peninsula. When we got there he said...
"You've got the stick."
Then he told me to keep the nose on the horizon and to maintain the current compass heading and altitude.
When ATC called and told us to
"Turn left and come to heading xxx degrees"...
He told me [bank left, pull the nose up slightly to make the turn and level off at the new compass heading] coaching me through the turn.
I got to do that for about 45 minutes until we needed to return to base.
Fun time! ✈
