Still remember my first kiss on one of these things on the way back from boarding school at the tender age of 13. Also through a friend who worked for Skywest in Hedland, was able to arrange a visit to the cockpit, as it was calle in those days. The crew couldn't offer the opportunity to sit for the landing quick enough. Enough to make any 16 year old swear on a flying career.
But the biggest turn on was seeing a captain depart off intersection alpha in Hedland RWY 14 departure for Broome. Why? Because he could!
If you could fly any aircraft what would it be ?

727 or F28

It's just like a VW
Burns S#itloads of fuel, makes twice as much noise, and i want every son of a b*tch to know that i'm flying it.

Need anything more be said?
