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.

A Vulcan cockpit, though it was in a museum...

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
