Maybe Peter Ward could organise an A380 jaunt with min fuel and a max angle takeoff...plus a few barrel rolls over Botany Bay.

Or maybe not.

mmm.... I've pulled 4G doing spiral climbs while paragliding, climbing at 20m/s in strong thermals... it's pretty sensational.

Most memorable flight though was gliding in smooth rising air at sunset over the Kanimbla Valley at about 3,000m - tip-to-tip with a wedge tail eagle, for maybe 15 minutes, just looking at each other.
