The first thing that comes to mind was probably 2003ish? I was a young beat reporter and photographer for a daily newspaper outside KC. There was an air show coming to Whiteman AFB, and I got to go up with the Red Baron stunt team. Flips and barrel rolls in an open cockpit biplane is pretty awesome.
For the six years I worked there, I also got to review movies regularly. That was the regularly cool thing I got to do. It was definitely a sweet gig getting paid OT + mileage to go review movies before they came out. Saw a lot of stuff in those 6 years 2-4 weeks before release and mostly in closed-to-the-public theaters.
I travel for work now, and they've sent me to Hawaii twice. That's pretty cool.
