What's the most fun or interesting thing you've done in FS?

go to VNLK, take off, turn around and land. Try this with more than just a prop.

Hmm, well a number of stunt challenges other people have thrown at me;
inverted loop of the Golden Gate Bridge in Concorde
flying an An-22 under the Eiffel Tower
taking an An-225 inverted under the northern end of the Golden Gate Bridge without crashing, and then landing it on a carrier (technical crash as the ships island would have swallowed a wing!!)

Carrier landings.

3 traps each in a Hawkeye, a Hornet, and a Viking. On 3 different carriers. (Simply starting on each)
About 2 1/2 hours worth of flying when you launch, circle back, trap, and reset the launch.

I was really on, that night. 20 perfect 3 wires out of 27 attempts with 3 bolsters, (missed approaches), and FUBAR'ed the gears twice. One was really ugly, but no fatalities.
;D

So hard to choose.  Everything I do is enjoyable in FS.

I think it's fun to try to taxi a plane down a regular road with lots of hills and trees, above takeoff speed. It's hard not to crash

The Abe Lincoln is sitting off the coast of San Diego and very easy to see once you head west and attain a couple of thousand feet.......

Here's a fun thing:

"Skipping" a 182RG Skylane off the top of the John Hancock Building.............have to hear the tires touching or it doesn't count.!

Tell me where that building is and is it solid....I have tried to land on some but most of them don't allow contact......

The John Hancock is in Chicago.  Of the two tallest skyscrapers there, it's the one farther from the lakeshore.  

Good luck - I've only accomplished it once, so apparently it has some solidity..........
