Two each Sea Fury (Centaurus powered of course)
One each dual control P-40 (did a takeoff and flew around in that one)

Collings B-17 twice (Thanks guys!)
Collings B-24 Once (Thanks guys!)
T-6 Texan (thanks Chuck!)

If I could choose I would like to ride in an A-26 Invader, a PBY, and an Avenger but will be happy in anything, I'm easy

Does sitting in the tail gunners position of the B-25 and gazing at the 9 others behind you in flights of 3 plus the other 2 off your wing come close?
Or sitting at the escape hatch of the 25 gazing at 2 P-51s, TBM and a Tutor on your wing against the setting sun?

Quit showing off, Jack !

Then hows about this three B-25 off the North Shore with a USCG C-130 in formation or three 25s two Corsairs TBM HU-16 SNJ 2 Goose in tight spriral race track formation over Pearl Harbor and then barrelling down the Beach at Waki Kiki Kiki or two Corsair 25 and F-14 F-18 and A-6 in loose formation over Barbers Point.

I saw that on discovery channel too!

Ok big boys beat this.
How about sitting in the back of a T-6 has it goes off the runway backward and sort of sideways with the tires squealing like banshees and the engine roaring. Has it hits the soft earth the gear leg snaps with a crack that sounds like someone just pulled the trigger on a .45 next to your ear. Has the wing impacts the ground and begins to crumple, the deceleration and the force of the airplane spinning around causes your head to hit the canopy glass breaking it.
Now beat that warbird ride!!!
