Which airliners, now withdrawn from service, do you wish you could have seen in their pomp and/or flown on?
I'd love to have experienced a first generation jetliner like the Convair CV-880 with turbojets taking off on full beans, now that would have been thrash! I saw BMA 707s a few times going into BHX in the late 70s, what a sight. Concorde as well, never experienced a take off though did see it fly overhead once.
I'd also love to have seen the Handley Page HP42 fly overhead, what a sight that must have been.
How about yourselves?
