    Re: Which ONE aircraft would you take a flight in given one wish?

    SpaceShipOne.

    Of course, with only one seat, I'd have to fly, but with a little training I think I could have a go. I'd be leaving from and returning to Mojave, but probably seeing everything along the way. Give it a few years though, because I'd rather fly SpaceShipThree.

    The Grand Canyon is amazing from the air. I'd also say Crater Lake and Mt St. Helens are possibilities.

    I was in the Spruce Goose the other day. Really! It's in McMinnville, about 40 miles up the road from me.

    Amazing aircraft, and has to be seen to be believed. I'm not sure it would get out of ground effect...

    some awesome ideas here :0

    Ekranoplan... now THATS' a tool to be had a go in Not really a plane, but a lake and ocean skimmer with enough power to drag itself up a concrete road, tearing the surface up and deliver a bout a milliomn russian troops under the radar to Norfolk!

    Concorde for me...one jet that I used to see OR hear twice a day...while being the only jet that used to me stop there and then on the spot, despite all the others that flew over each day regardless.
