Landing SXM is fun, but taking off can be better. We taxied into position in a 757 with a topless lady by the fence. My thought was "You really should cover up!"

Has anyone looked UP at the top of the Pentagon departing 33 at DCA in a BE-99?

It's been awhile but I think it was NBD to 10 @ KCLE in a F-28, snow covered. Former Marine pilot as F/O that I really respected. Older than me, paid me a complement I will never forget.

EWR ILS 11 circle-to-land 22R in an ERJ-145 was pretty fun.

Not ILS 22L circle to 29, that's mundane, I only got to do one 11 to 22R and it was a blast.

I know this probably not what you meant, but I spent a week in Punta Cana at one of those all inclusive topless beaches type places and a vast majority of the time you really just wanted to gouge your eyes out.

I second ASE. Beautiful view...of both the mountains and the rich cougars getting off the plane

Guantanamo Bay visual to 10 before the GTMO west airspace made it so easy a cave man could do it.

Bos 15R circle 4L was my favorite approach. You could look into some of the windows of the building during the circle. Approach always loved to give the guys in and out daily this approach, even when the wx was at minns. Pax did hate it though.
