I was thinkng about the 3 things i would most like to have done. This is my list

1. Survive a WWII dogfight after shooting down a few nasty fokkers.

2. Played at the original Live-Aid (probably with Queen).

3. Witnessed a major games/gladiator combat at the Colosseum/flavian amphitheatre. Although maybe winning an Olympic Gold might beat that, i flit between those two. Todays it's the colosseum.
Being Steve McQueen in Bullitt was up there as well.

Anyone beat that list? obviously it would have to be doing things that had to have been possible.

Fokkers flew during the first world war (e.g. Manfred von Richthofen's Dr.1 Triplane) Focke-Wulfs are not the same company.

The 3 things I'm really glad I have done are...

1. Hitch-hiked around the world when I was young enough too.
2. Drag raced a 600hp Camaro in some hot and exotic foreign country
3. Had sex with literally hundreds of nubile young Asian girls.
