Nothing that interesting from me, but I have been on the little Cessnas that Cape Air use in New England.

**LTN Phobia** · Jan 3, 13, 8:16 am

I have missed out on flying on Concorde
I wish I had missed out on flying on a Metroliner, aka sewer pipe.

Others, I don't really care one way or another.

HIDDY · Jan 3, 13, 8:28 am

Can't remember them all.....but quite a variety from Handley Page Heralds, Vickers Viscounts/Vanguards and the flying sheds through Tridents, BAC 1-11s to most of the modern Airbus and Boeing aircraft.

Several small one and two engined private stuff but I think my favourite of all was the sea plane ride over the coast mountains in Vancouver and the helicopter ride next to the twin towers.
Not been on a balloon yet....not sure I want to either.

Never flown in an A330 or A340.

Missed out on Concorde obviously.

On my annual visit to East Fortune - I look at the Dan Air Comet and the Concorde and know that I can say that I once flew in that exact Comet (To Menorca) but that I'll never get chance to fly in the Concorde......

Very funny.....

I've seen far too many bad balloon landings to make me want to go up in one.

I really regret never getting to fly Concorde. I don't think I'll see anything like it again in my lifetime.

TBH I felt more of a sense of theatre and occasion flying on the small turboprops - and nothing from the rest.

Looking forward to flying on the A380.
