Memorable take off:

In January 2009 on a morning departure on a QantasLink 717 from Darwin (DRW) to Cairns (CNS). I was in seat 1A and the view out the left hand side of the Darwin CBD and surrounding ocean in the early morning sun was magnificent. I am a bit disappointed that I didn't have my camera out.

Memorable landing (1):

In 1993 on a Japan Air System MD80 flying from Tokyo Haneda (HND) to Kumamoto (KMJ). We were approaching KMJ in heavy rain and I was in an aisle seat in the rear of the plane on a full flight and couldn't see out the windows so couldn't tell how close we were to actually landing. I remember remembering about an anecdote from a book I read that the safest place in a place is at the rear of an aircraft because you never see planes back into a mountain. At that point we hit the tarmac hard and some of the overhead lockers opened and luggage fell out. It gave me a right old shock!

Memorable landing (2):

In 2000 on a China Northwest flight from Xian (XIY) to Shanghai Hongqiao (SHA). The flight crew were not enforcing the seatbelt rule for landing and there were kids jumping around on their parents' laps and lying on the tops on the seat headrests and jumping around right until landing. I also remember that when we landed, many of the passengers also broke out into applause.

Memorable landing (3):

In 2007 on a Malev Hungarian flight from Varna, Bulgaria (VAR) to Budapest, Hungary (BUD) on a 737-500. The plane was ten minutes ahead of schedule and the pilot asked cabin crew to prepare the cabin for landing while they were still clearing up from the inflight service. The cabin crew virtually ran down the aisle with their trolley picking up what they could and leaving cans and cups with the passengers. They then very quickly stowed the trolleys and ran to their seats. I remember seeing the last flight attendant buckle her seat belt literally five seconds before we landed.
