I've also done the world most bizarre loop and heavy landing in the Harrier sim... and flown round a giant (300ft) teddy bear on the old Jag sim at RAF Coltishall... On the new Jag sim at Colt I was a passenger(?!) on the port air intake. Now that was a strange perspective...

I think thats it, and hopefully in my next job may just be adding a few more to that list come November... ;)(added)

Now..why has a photographer piloted an MD-90?
Something is not right here   ;D

I was photographing a new MD-90 before its ferry flight to the Delta hub in Salt Lake City. I have connections with the pilot who was going to be piloting the shiny new MD-90 and got to fly right seat for a ways. I piloted it from take off to 18000ft and from that point on until final approach the autopilot took care of it. I got to take it through the decent and pattern all by adjusting autopilot settings. I didn't get to land it unfortunately, there was too much liability involved ::). I'm guessing you did not know I am a licensed pilot Nexus. When I got to fly that MD-90 I had my PPL, PPL-H, IFR, Twin and Tailwheel ratings.

Hopefully the Tailwheel rating wasn't needed when you flew the MD-90 (or the PPL-H for that matter) ;)

Years ago (1980's) as a student pilot I flew Cessna 150/152/172.  Got close to finishing but it got too expensive :'(

However, it gave me the experience I needed to learn FS real quick :D

Got to fly the F-14 and AH-64 simulators (actual pilot training simulators).  Crashed the F-14 because my seat was too low and I lost view of the runway on short final!
