Best thing I've ever done flying - an outback trip (adjust as appropriate). Month with a C172 and a mate (non-pilot), tent, and a decent supply of food/water/beer. Amazing adventure, phenomenal way of putting a lot of stuff into perspective, and something really different. Was terrified of the challenge before I left, was a lot easier in reality, and I really relished the adventure, and doing something that the aeroplane was really suited to.
Second up, fly a pitts..
