Sorry, Teeteringhead, can't agree there.
Until they make full colour goggles that give you an unrestricted field of view, they won't provide a patch on the visual splendours you see when nipping around among the hills and trees at low level.
I find the two fuzzy green dunny rolls detract greatly from the sense of being 'right there' amongst it all, unfortunately.
As for favourite places, where to start?
Playing around in the snow;
flying over a cliff edge at low level and getting the 'drop off' view as you go over the lip;
shutting down on a coral beach for a couple of hours during a lull in a task;
in PNG with 100 ft on the radalt and 10 000 on the altimeter;
roaring around at low level practising quickstops into pads;
aaahhh....rotary wing.
