P-51D Mustang
A personal story — when my dad was still alive and living in Florida, I visited him and during my visit the Commemorative Air Force was exhibiting a few of the still-airworthy warbirds at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport. We went both for our aviation interest but also so he could reminisce about his time in the Army Air Corps toward the end of the war. He really enjoyed seeing the aircraft that day and I asked him if he would like to fly in one of them. He declined whole-heartedly. Good thing, they were charging (as I recall) $1,200 for a ride in the P-51 that they had on display that day. Such expensive airfare would have been a big dent in my wallet — but it would have been fun, I am sure.
