I've flown in the jump seat of a B-1B bomber when I worked for Boeing. A friend who worked on the program arranged for it. Sitting in a stealth fighter was cool too. But working on the Simnet battle simulators for DARPA was epic, since we could set the weapons to unlimited ammo and let the helis and planes fly below the ground. Many epic tank and bradley vs. warthog and cobra battles after work (with much pizza and beer).

Doing a winter ascent of the north face of Mt. Stuart in Washington (5.10 rock and ice climb).

Being on assignment for Sperry UNIVAC in Stockholm (Solna) in January and having a boss who was so cheap that he would not approve a car rental so we had to walk the 2-3 miles to and from the office from the hotel each day was not so epic.
