Best takeoff - First ever ride in a 767. Was down the back, and it felt like we were almost going up vertically. A real rocket ship!
Most interesting landing - In a 737 to Melbourne, the pilot had to go around from only a couple of hundred feet due to traffic not clearing the runway. Told my friend who was nervous flyer they were still sweeping up what was left of the last one.
Scariest landing - In a C152 at Cooranbong NSW with a newly licensed pilot who didn't flare. I swear the wheels were up next to the windows. Aircraft (don't know rego) was destroyed at Port Macquarie several moths latter in a weather related crash.
Most interesting watched - watching 6 aircraft on approach to CBR at once as they raced in to beat the closure 1 hour before USAF Airforce 1 took off with George W back in about 2005. Never seen that much metal in CBR at once before. And the pilot of Airfoce 2 (SAM78002?) turned off the landing lights as he went past the fence to allow us to get better photos! What a nice American!
