The best take off
On a short hop from Lindeman Island to Hamiton Island (on numerous occasions) on board VH-HAM (usually) a Cessna 208. The strip on LDC is pretty bummy and not very level but as soon as you get in the air wonderful wonderful views of the Whitsunday passage.
Best landing
On board a QF763 coming back into Sydney through a storm one night, probably about 3 or 4 years ago. Was sitting in the middle so couldn't see anything except the lightening and the aircraft was jumping all over the shop. There were more then a few concerned looks from a few pax onboard.
Funniest landing
Again coming into SYD one night on board a TG 744. We were on very very short finals when a girl, about 10 years old got up and went to the bathroom. The cabin crew who were only a few metres from the lavatory didn't bother trying to get her out because they new if they did, just as they would be unbuckling themselves we would be hitting the deck. Sure enough we landed with the girl on the loo. Cabin crew didn't even give her or the parents a talking to.
