Climbing Everest is the perfect last-on-the-bucket-list item because one in ten climbers doesn’t make it back... and that’s of those who actually get to the top!
As for mine: a spaceflight (some day).
Both Highly notable quests, I have a simpler one I would like to pay my respects to a Fellow veteran truly the last of his kind. Mesphisto The only A7V left in the world. As a former tanker, to see the last surviving A-7V SturmPanzerwagen Would truly be a site to see. I am quite in awe when I think of this majestic beast this is the LAST one there were only 21 of these monsters built.
Now I am quite certain to the majority of the people who read this will say OK its a TANK big deal, But to a lover of history to see this up close would simply be incredible. The same way some one who is a pilot would say if he saw a Sopwith Camel or a Folker D R1
I am truly envious of all the fine people on this board whom hail from Australia who have had the chance to see up close and personal this venerable old veteran who now calmly sits encased in glass.
