], J-star, Tornado, Harrier, Hawk, B1B, Hercules and the chinook. Most of them were at fairford and I only got in them as I am an Air Cadet and my brother flies Gliders for 625 Volunteer gliding school sqaudron for the Air Cadets. He has many contact who are pilots

747 Eastbound over the Atlantic.
Do helicopters count ? If so, a Bell JetRanger over Portsmouth, and a LongRanger over NYC.

The Montgolfier's balloon had a cockpit. And a sheeppit and a duckpit
They were the volunteers who went for a first flight by hot air balloon whilst Marie Antoinette watched on stuffing her Austrian gob full of French Fancies.
Mind you I bet the poor things were frightened so I wouldn't have fancied standing under the balloon, French Fancies or no.
I've been in the cab of a Vickers Viscount, and I've sat behind the pilot in two Dragon Rapides, which those of you who have been on one will know is as good as being in the cockpit.

Slightly off topic but while I was on camp with the air training corps at RAF Uxbridge we flew for 30 mins from RAF Northholt in the royal BAE 146 as that was the only flight they could get for us and our camp commander got a tellegram from the queen saying she hoped we enjoyed flying in her aircraft
