Wow! Thanks for posting! I read ALL of them! Makes me start dreaming! Some of those definatly are to be added to my "to-do-list" in life!

Some of my flying experiences I wouldn't want to miss out on (it's almost embarrasing but I'm just at the beginning!):

-Being called down to the ground by your instructor over the radio after a long solo flight in a glider and having lots of altitude to lose in a short period of time! (That means: Fly fast, loops, 90°+ banks - see how many Gs you can pull in your little glider, rolls, flying inverted etc.)
-Trying to catch small ballons out of the window in your glider and bring them to the ground
-Hearing the grass softly scrape your tailwheel during a really soft landing and thenn the sudden roughness of touching down on the grass.
-Having lots of speed in a winch tow and just hangin' your plane onto that rope and hoping the rope won't break! ;-)
-FIRST SOLO!

Just a few of mine... Again sorry, but I am just a young guy and don't have any spectacular things to tell like you do! I really highly respect all of you!
