Quoting Venezuela747 (Reply 2): AF/BA from JFK to Europe...concorde....need I say more
Yes, CDG-JFK-CDG on the AF Concorde would be also my favorite.
Quoting Lionel (Reply 3): Swissair Coronado from ZRH to BKK with several stops!
Such an Europe to Asia flight with several stops on the way sounds also very nice. The Coronado would be very cool, but a 707 or a DC-8 would do it also.

Quoting Bongo (Reply 19): The only aircraft I really miss is called CONCORDE, would love to see it in the air again Wink
Quoting Mirrodie (Reply 20): Clearly, the loss of Concorde was the end of the Golden age of Aviation
I would have loved flying the Concorde, too!
I would love to have flown on the stretched DC8 - especially one with the little lounge in the front of the plane. I guess the closest I can come to that is the 757 today

Back in the 60's & 70's, BOAC used VC-10's for a round-the-world service.
A nice First Class seat on one of those flights, please !!!!!!

Maybe my choice would be a long multi-stop flight in any airline possesing 707s...
I am shure that those flight should be really exciting and the noise of the engines must be something of other world... Visiting exotic locations, the stewardesses knowing your name, food in real China... That is what happens when you are born in 1979, I suppose ...
The looks of the engines from the windows...

I love the de Havilland Comet, so I would be inclined to say I would want to fly on one. However, the seats look so very uncomfortable!
To fly, the dream of man and flightless bird alike!

10 - Paris to London in an open-cockpit biplane, 1922 (just like my father did)
9 - Shoot down just one ME-109 with my P-51 1944
8 - Shoot down just one Zero with my Hellcat 1943
7 - Shoot down just one MiG over North Korea 1952
6 - Sikorsky S-38 or a Consolidated Commodore around the Caribbean.
5 - Europe to the US aboard the Hindenburg in 1936 (NOT 1937)
4 - An 8th AF B-17 from England to Germany and back in 1944
3 - Concorde transoceanic, not local.
2 - PanAm Boeing 314 clipper to the Orient.
1 - Apollo 11 to the Moon.
After some thought I'm no longer sure of the order.
Happiness is not seeing another trite Ste. Maarten photo all week long.
