I think scrambling to make Concordes last ever flight, on my birthday, a few weeks ago has to be one. Trebble parked, like everybody else, on the permiter. The only time an aircraft has made me cry. Sheer power and noise, the likes will never been seen again.I have seen too many sad last flights(Firefly,Vintage pair, ist Blenhiem). It was nice to see a good one.
Personally flying upfront in Islander 8P-TAG from Mustique to Barbados on my honeymoon three years ago was a highlight, Thats where Islanders should be 1500ft over a clear blue sea!
Second to that flying in a Polish Mi-2 at 0 feet down Warsaw's main river in 1990 and having to climb to go over the bridges!
Or my first Tiger flight last year....
