Depends on the plane and location. Takeoff in a DC10 simply because there is absolutly nothing like the sound and power that thing has. Where as i quite like landing in a DC9/MD80/8 as they seem to trundle along the runway quite nicely. I am not a fan of landing at any time as i have a bad back so even a smooth landing is quite uncomfortable.

Whether I'm the pilot in a 172 or we're thundering down the runway in an A330, I absolutely loooooove takeoff. There is absolutey nothing like the feeling of being hurtled into the sky at 180 MPH. And that's just in the 172! Tongue

(jk) Just can't get enough of it.

Landing is cool too though. Craig, if you have a bad back, do not EVER come flying with me Roll Eyes

Since I'm not a pilot when I flying I always have to have a window seat with my face pressed up against the
window looking around. Night or day I love it!!

Take off - fun, particularly holding the brakes against power, then having fun keeping straight as the brakes are released...

Landing - busy, satisfying if done well, and the roll is quite nice as you can relax just a little bit...

Flying - fun, particularly if upside down and there isn't a cloud in sight...

I chose flying. Landing is more exciting, but it also means you're done flying pretty soon... Undecided

Can you add a touch-and-go option? 8)

A touch-and-go is when you take-off again right after landing without stopping.

I thought I already told you how to center your siggy, but here we go again:
(center)(img)url(/img)(/center)
And some people might think your signature is a tad too large...

EDIT:
I forgot... use [and] instead of (and )

Well, I've flew in two aircraft;
An Aerospatiale AS-355F-2 Ecureuil 2 and a Boeing 757. Both of them had pretty good take-offs, the acceleration is what is so good

Lol. Something the aircraft in your avatar is not renowned for! Grin
