And this was back when you could actually stand outside and breathe the fumes in, before all this security stuff later meant you had to watch through thick glass windows! Then when I became a planespotter in the 80s, that smell was part of my life for about five years.
And finally, coffee. I hate coffee, but even I have to admit the smell of freshly roasting coffee is a lovely welcoming smell.
So, anyone?

The office I work in over the summer (and hopefully into the fall!) is situated on airport property here, fairly close to the runways, so jet fuel is a regular odour outside, especially in the morning and in the early evening when the jets are being refuelled. I got used to it.
But my parents' house is right in the flightpath of jets that go to the airport, so the SOUND of airplanes will always remind me of home. One flies over about every 3 minutes.

No wonder why you've never sent me any flowers
My favourite smell is that smell in the air right after it rains. Wet asphalt, wet soil... it's so refreshing to me.
