Hmm, well a number of stunt challenges other people have thrown at me;
inverted loop of the Golden Gate Bridge in Concorde
flying an An-22 under the Eiffel Tower
taking an An-225 inverted under the northern end of the Golden Gate Bridge without crashing, and then landing it on a carrier (technical crash as the ships island would have swallowed a wing!!)

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Carrier landings.

3 traps each in a Hawkeye, a Hornet, and a Viking. On 3 different carriers. (Simply starting on each)
About 2 1/2 hours worth of flying when you launch, circle back, trap, and reset the launch.

I was really on, that night. 20 perfect 3 wires out of 27 attempts with 3 bolsters, (missed approaches), and FUBAR'ed the gears twice. One was really ugly, but no fatalities.

I think it's fun to try to taxi a plane down a regular road with lots of hills and trees, above takeoff speed. It's hard not to crash

The Abe Lincoln is sitting off the coast of San Diego and very easy to see once you head west and attain a couple of thousand feet.......

The John Hancock is in Chicago. Of the two tallest skyscrapers there, it's the one farther from the lakeshore.

Good luck - I've only accomplished it once, so apparently it has some solidity..........
