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.
Re: Which ONE aircraft would you take a flight in given one wish?
yes, i saw that one as well. Amazing stuff!

Would have to be Concorde for me, loved them right from the word go and before I could be a passenger they got decommissioned :(
Re: Which ONE aircraft would you take a flight in given one wish?
Have to be the H4 Hercules for pure insanity reasons, given a place would be over any majour city just for the looks of people on the ground.

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...
Re: Which ONE aircraft would you take a flight in given one wish?
Concorde here too..maybe they'll bring them back one day.
Re: Which ONE aircraft would you take a flight in given one wish?
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!
Re: Which ONE aircraft would you take a flight in given one wish?
Harrier jump jet. Vertical take-off is undeniably cool.
Re: Which ONE aircraft would you take a flight in given one wish?
Starship Enterprise .... because if you cant warp its just not worth it :)

As i said in my post that is a bit of a dream of mine... thing is with a fully loaded setup the harrier isnt actually capable of VTOL only STOL... Not worth complaining about like it wud still be awesome!
Re: Which ONE aircraft would you take a flight in given one wish?
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.
Re: Which ONE aircraft would you take a flight in given one wish?
Flying in the Hindenburg would be pretty amazing, but without the explosion...
