The A346 was my highlight last year, watching the loading and unloading trials up close from the tarmac after the inaugural landing in FRA in October 2001.
My highlight this year is a little bit less spectacular...:
The wide-spread arrival of quality low-cost carriers in Germany (germanwings, Hapag-Lloyd Express, DBA). Finally, flying just for fun has become affordable in my home country too!

Hi,
I think like everyone else, it was the arrival of the A340-600. My personal highs were travelling VS Upper class back from SFO and probably me last ever trip in a 737-200 from Prestwick down to Stansted.

American retired it's last B727 aircraft on Apr 30th. I flew on the very final flight TPA-MIA as flight AA765, the registration of the aircraft was N864AA.
The Boeing 767 is 20 years old.

My #1 moment is the same as Haveric's, first time elite and youngest elite in the Kunz family history.
Other moments are the 777-300ER rollout and the introduction of Pan Am (short lived) to HPN.
