I've see all of these up close, and I've been in the 747.

I forgot about that one, saw the shuttle transport carrier at Wings Over Houston

Ah yes, but did you see it in the air?

PS. Neither did I but this would be a really rare event. Sadly I just missed seeing it when it was on static display at Long Beach harbor alongside the Queen Mary. It had been there for years but they went & moved it without asking my permission. ::) :'(

Yak 50. We had one land at our last Club fly-in breakfast at Cornwall Regional. Of course a beautiful blonde gets out, takes off her helmet, long flowing hair blowing in the wind....She was as impressive as the magnificently restored Yak.

"For me its either the Concorde . . . "

I saw Concorde do a fly-over and land at SeaTac . . . can you beat that? (And yes, I have a video-to-prove-it)

Here's a rare bird I'd like to see in FS9

I saw the Concorde land at... YSSY! Think, how rare it is down in here Australia! It was even announced on the news that the Conc was coming because its so rare down here... (Talking from a 90's perspective I know Conc is retired) I have photos that I'll upload sooner or later... along with my recent An-124 experience. Oh I also forgot, I  saw a Janet 737-200 when I flew on Ted from KLAX to KLAS. Damn 5:00 in the morning flight.

I've seen/been in the Connie thats at 4N1. Its been there since they landed it there in the 50-60's? I've also been in an He-111, a B-24, a B-25, and a B-17. Most of those planes I saw at the Essex Co. airport* and Sussex Co. airport

*if you go there, eat at the 94th Bomber Group, the food is great!
