I'd definitely love to fly in a 262, but my only experience that comes close was a free ride in a T-33 Shooting Star when I was 15.

If anyone is interested, there is a good book by Colonel Donald S. Lopez USAF retired, called Fighter Pilot's Heaven: Flight Testing the Early Jets. Colonel Lopez is the director of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum and a really nice guy. He had some great experiences testing early jets in 1944-45 -- a must read for anyone interested in early jet warfare and tactics.
