I had different take on this...

(in no particular order)
1) First flight
2) First solo
3) First time in the soup
4) First flight in your own airplane
5) First time as private pilot with passenger

Good ones! But I would rank those as different "types" of flights,
rather than places to fly.

If we're talking "types" of flights, I would add:

1. First time you fly when it's absolutely calm, as rock solid as if
you were sitting in front of your computer. Flying seems so natural
and easy!

2. First time you fly over fog. What an amazing change the world
undergoes!

3. First time you see your "glory" on the ground, racing over the
countryside at warp speed.

4. First time you cloud dance, using widely scattered puffies as
pylons in an air race only you can see.

5. First time your kid takes the controls.

Flying presents so many life-enhancing opportunities, it's hard to
list them all!

I would have to add number 6, the first time, and about every time I fly of
solid snow cover. Not unusual in your area I would suspect, but something
always lifts my spirits.
