My mum and dad flew on concorde but I never have...
That remains my biggest and only regret.

On the plus side, I have been on loads of other planes such as 747's (many times) to ERJ 145's and BAe 146's to very scrappy Icelandair 757's.

My favourite so far though has got to be the cessna 152 II as I have flown it and hope to be doing so again in July for my PPL. I think it's a great little plane actually. Not incredibly fun, but as tought as nails and reliable. Oh yeah, and easy to fly.

Mine is quita abysmal really...................

First ever flight was Manch to Palma in a B707 around '68.
Britannia
Shackleton AEW MK2
Shackleton MR MK2
C130H
Jaguar T2(on the ranges at decimomanou. sp.)
B737
Dominie (More hours than Pontious Pilot)
B767-300 to Regge Land
B767-200

Too many glider types to recall.

Oh yeah, I also used to hitch a ride from Lossiemouth to Manch on a 4 eng. turboprop which used to bring the newspapers up from Manch.
Haven't got a clue what it was . I believe it was based at East Midlands, (circa '74-'76)

I wouldnt say abysmal - theres some serious Iron ware in that short list
