Depends on the plane and location. Takeoff in a DC10 simply because there is absolutly nothing like the sound and power that thing has. Where as i quite like landing in a DC9/MD80/8 as they seem to trundle along the runway quite nicely. I am not a fan of landing at any time as i have a bad back so even a smooth landing is quite uncomfortable.

Whether I'm the pilot in a 172 or we're thundering down the runway in an A330, I absolutely loooooove takeoff.  There is absolutey nothing like the feeling of being hurtled into the sky at 180 MPH.  And that's just in the 172! :P (jk)  Just can't get enough of it.

Landing is cool too though.  Craig, if you have a bad back, do not EVER come flying with me ::) ;D

Since I'm not a pilot when I flying I always have to have a window seat with my face pressed up against the
window looking around. Night or day I love it!!

Take off - fun, particularly holding the brakes against power, then having fun keeping straight as the brakes are released...

Landing - busy, satisfying if done well, and the roll is quite nice as you can relax just a little bit...

Flying - fun, particularly if upside down and there isn't a cloud in sight... :)

I chose flying. Landing is more exciting, but it also means you're done flying pretty soon...  :-/
Can you add a touch-and-go option?

;D ;D ;D
A touch-and-go is when you take-off again right after landing without stopping.

I thought I already told you how to center your siggy, but here we go again:
(center)(img)url(/img)(/center)
And some people might think your signature is a tad too large...

EDIT:
I forgot... use [and] instead of (and )

Well, I've flew in two aircraft;
An Aerospatiale AS-355F-2 Ecureuil 2 and a Boeing 757. Both of them had pretty good take-offs, the acceleration is what is so good :)
