I had to stand on one (behind the Captains seat) from Glasgow to Sumburgh once. Via Inverness, Wick and Kirkwall. Best bit was going across Scapa Flow at 500ft, then having to climb over the hills to land at Kirkwall.
Then we landed on the short runway at Sumburgh, using the whole length of the runway; as we turned at the end to backtrack, I was able to look straight down into the sea from the left flight deck window! It was either a straight in on the short or a curving 'Spitfire' type approach to the main in those days ('72).
After several fam flights in Tridents/BAC 111's and '737's, I had one to Rotterdam in a Viscount (BAF I think). As a previous correspondent said; those huge windows gave a fantastic view compared with the jets.
