My grandfather was a commercial airline navigator, and the last plane he bet flew on (just as a passenger) was a Concorde. He decided afte that to never fly again, as he had experienced the peak of modern aviation. And he never did up to his death last fall.

Never flown in a 700, but frequently on crj200 and its impossible to move your arm without hitting anyone. Absolutely torture. Going to fly on one to toronto later this year, 3 hours on that tiny turd, ugh!

Go find yourself a Luscombe, or maybe a staggerwing Beech. Many seriously gorgeous older plane designs

As far as cargo planes go, I've always found those Ilyushin IL-76 very impressive. They used to operate from a nearby airfield, I've always enjoyed their flying over...

We have a beautiful yellow staggerwing hangered here. Owner was telling me he is getting too old to keep up with it and has friends fly it once in awhile. I don't know how much truth there is to this, but when I was attending Spartan many moons ago, several of the older instructors who had been there since before WWII said the dies for the Spartan Executive are still around.
