And the more reasonable ones
[*]Boeing 707 Pax + 747SP... possibly in one trip


That's quite possible...If you manage to go to Iran, you can hop onto Saha Air's 707...Then you can hop onto the IranAir 747SP that flies to Buenos Aires I think... ;)

Aussie F-111, 50 feet high, Mach 1.2, at Red Flag exercises. :) Realistically, Dc9 at the back, or maybe 717. :)

Hmm...been on only commercial aircraft up to this point.  I've been on the large 747-400, and the tiny J-31.  Been on a lot in my past, including a 727, Saab-340, 737, ERJs, CRJs, 757s, DC-9s, B-1900.  And a couple more.  Would like to go on something other then commercial for once...not really picky on aircraft :P

Commercial I haven't been on but want to...would like to get at least one flight on...777 (all versions...300ER would be preferred.) A340-600.  A330, A340-300, 767, A320...the list goes on.  

If things work out right then might get a chance to take at least a couple of those aircraft next year.  Planning another trip to Taiwan already 8-)  If things work out and the money is right then I might do some selective routing...anything that avoids LAX is selective enough for me though ;D  Current prices its possible to hit the JFK-HKG route with Cathay's A340-600 and possibly the return on their new 777-300ER.  Or if EVA takes on their 777-200LRs anytime soon maybe they would be so kind as to open up some new US routes...say ORD :-?  No matter what way I route myself it should at least cover some of the aircraft...If I end up in Hong Kong then its up for grabs as to what type I could take to TPE as there is so many flights.  But its probably a year off so plenty of time for new routes to open up meaning all kinds of possibilities 8-)

B-1B Mach Speed Low Levels From: JFK, up through Canada, over the Arctic, back down through the mid west, exist through Florida at 200ft, and finishing up at Princess Juliana for gas and the round trip back. :D

Or Air Force One any where, I have never been on a 747 yet.

I'm very easy to please.  I'll just take an MX-2 and I'll make my own route.  Mostly vertical. :D

Auuuuugh!  I hate those sort of questions where you have to pick one from a whole pile of favorites.

Hm . . . well . . . hm . . .

I guess I would like to go in an Airvan AV-8 and fly from my family's home in Minot, ND.  First stop would be in Montana somewhere, probably near Glacier Park.  Then, it would be on to the Tri-Cities, WA to pick up my parents (though, perhaps only my dad would willingly get on the plane).  After that, maybe a hop over to Portland. From Portland, it's on to Humboldt County, CA to pick up my friends.  That makes 8 of us (my sweety, my step-son, my daughter, my father (my mom probably stayed behind), my friend Josh, my friend Barb, Barb's son, and then me as the pilot!).  From there, it's a tour of the Pacific Northwest Coast, the Cascade Mountains, Western Washington and Canada, and finally, a quick visit to Alaska.

In other words, I want to go and see all the wonderful things you cannot see by car.  Also, the AV-8, being a smaller aircraft, would allow for everyone to have a great view and be very much in touch with the flying experience. In theory, it also has enough capacity that we could bring a bit of luggage along.

Of course, this assumes I have go ahead and got my pilot's license.  Without it, I would hate to have to pick who stays behind . . . Then again, if we are fantasizing, I would just take two AV-8's in four-seat passenger/cargo combination and then load up on a ton of camping gear in each one to make the stay in Alaska even more fun.

I don't ask for much, do I?  ::) ;D
