As pilot - 1st solo, no question. When I finally landed, I couldn’t walk or talk properly for nearly an hour.
As pax – my first j/s ride. Buzz 146, STN > AMS, from pushback to brakes on. Took off in freezing fog one dark january morning, burst out into fabulous sunshine, then descended back into it for a CAT III landing. It felt like all my birthdays and Christmases, plus getting on ‘Jim’ll Fix It’ at the same time.
