I might be wrong but I think Worf has flown with both the Angels and T-Birds.
Add to your list Steve Irwin, the croc hunter guy. Can't tell you what unit he flew with but it was on TV. |

Yes, I also remember that Steve Irwin aka Croc Hunter did fly with the 56th FW at Luke AFB. The episode that he flew in was pretty good.
Wonder if you should contact the T-birds and see if they have kept a list. |

Former Miami Dolphins Quarterback Dan Marino. I can't remember if it was a ride at Homestead, or one with the Thunderbirds, but I clearly remember him receiving a ride. If he flew with Homestead, it was before my time. I'm thinking it was the Thunderbirds though.
I believe John Elway flew with the COANG at Buckley. I also believe it was sometime around the time the Broncos won the Super Bowl.
Tom Cruise (the lucky B@$t@rd) did indeed get a Viper ride. This tacked on with the 3 Tomcat rides he received during the filming of Top Gun.
Rod Stewart said it best..."Some Guys Have All the Luck"...of course, he got to tap Rachel Hunter, so I don't wanna hear him b*tch.
Now, if someone gave TC a choice between a Viper ride and Rachel Hunter... 
Beers and MiGs were made to be pounded! |

| Tom Cruise did indeed get a F-16 from the 36th Fighter Squadron at Osan AB, ROK. The person giving the ride (sts) told Tom that the Fiends needed a new popcorn machine and a few months later a 12,000 dollar popcorn machine showed up thanks to him..... |
