This is the first in a series of things you just have to try. Admittedly I skewed them towards the sort of adrenaline- happy types of adventures I like to do, and set them in amazing destinations. Ziplining Mexico. Skeet shooting Vermont. Camel riding Dubai. Clam-digging in Portugal. They will be editorial choices I've tested out, so you'll know it's worth doing.

Take Flight on a T-6

Earlier this year, I took a ride on a fighter jet. Roll over and all. The raw video is here (this is our new HipGuide Experiences video channel)

This Saturday October 19th, if you're in New York, you can try something similar at the American Airpower Museum, the legendary space where many of today's aviation companies began, where the Space Shuttle tail was assembled, and where the pieces for the original Boeing 747 and 727 parts were built.

They are offering you rides in the following planes

• T-6 single-engine advanced trainer aircraft used to train pilots of the United States Air Force ($330)
• WACO UPF-7, an extremely manoeuverable biplane aircraft capable of all the acrobatic manoeuvres in the Army/Navy student curriculum ($280).

You will need to pre-book a flight by calling 631 454 2039. The flights will be offered between 10.30AM-3PM.

The museum is a non-profit so the flights will help preserve history but you don't need to be airborne to see the space which is just very cool as it houses the P-47 Thunderbolt and P-40 Kittyhawk, as well the F-84E, the first mass-produced jet fighter for NATO ..... though how many people can brag about this sort of flight?
Enjoy your Top Gun moment!
