Does this work for fighter jets?

Probably if you can get close to one

Idk but it worked with a C-17 for me. All about being in the right groups (being a civilian auxiliary of USAF helps).

It's all fun and games until you get the APU running...

You can usually sit in some older ones at air shows, or air museums. Sometimes they'll let you sit in new ones too! I got to sit in an FA-18 when I was a kid at an airshow, but they had all the gauges blacked out so you couldn't see classified parts of the jet. You can sit in the cockpit of an SR-71 Blackbird at the Boeing air museum in Renton, WA, but it is detached from the rest of the plane.
