hi, I was just wondering if you were given the opportunity to fly on any aircraft, on any route what would you pick.

mine would be on an ERJ-135 or a Dash 8-100/200/300/400 from MAN-LCY

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

I'd like a low and slow flight with no restrictions over London, at liberty to see anything I liked from a different perspective. I've seen it from heavies when I've flown home into Heathrow but could have done with a bit more time to see the sights  :)
Maybe a helicopter from Battersea would be the best way ?

Far more sedate... :)

Lol! I have one up on the missus there, after she persuaded me to drive to Amersham to see what a London Underground station so far out was like! ;D

Are multiple answers allowed?
[*]MiG-25UB

And the more reasonable ones
[*]Boeing 707 Pax + 747SP... possibly in one trip
[*]A380
[*]Antonov An-2 (the one at EHLE)
