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

These usually happen within a mile or two of the airport, but they're
interesting "types" IMHO:

- Putting a homebuilt into a 10,500 fpm descent for about a minute,
discovering that it's actually possible to navigate a little in this
condition, then pulling out.

- Then, flying a glider back to the airport, through the pattern, and
to a literal tip-toe landing on the grass.

- Doing either of the above, but in formation with one to a hundred
other pilots.


How about a soft field landing, when you get it so right, that you never
feel the aircraft touch down. You just hear the wheels start rolling.
