I thought this would be a cool post to see different aircraft all of you guys have flown on.

Feel free to say what your favorite is and any REALLY cool airports and destinations you have flown to.

From a hang glider to a 747, post e'm up if you have flown on them!!

I'll start out with my list:

Cessna 150, 152, 180, 182
Piper Cherokee
Beechcraft Bonanza

The only helicopter was a Bell Jet Ranger (very cool ride)

Locheed L-1011

McDonnell-Douglas DC-8, DC-9, DC-10, MD-11, MD80, MD-88, MD-90

Boeing 727, 737, 747, 757, 767, 777

Airbus A300, A319, A320, A330, A340

My favorites are the 747, 777 and MD-11 (even though the MD-11 has (had) a "not so great" safety record and was less efficient than advertised, I still enjoyed flying on it).

I'm wondering if any of you have been on the Concorde or A380:)

Piper cherokee and whatever it is that southwest airlines uses.

I hope to ride on 747 and A380, IDK if i'll ever get to ride on a concorde..
 
Beechcraft King Air (once used as the Univ of TX plane for their most revered football coach, least favorite, most dangerous, many close calls)

Hawker Sidley owned by Richmond Tank Car Co, (up front in jump seat, big fun, bad captain, good first officer thank God)

Locheed L-1011

McDonnell-Douglas DC-3, DC-6, DC-10 (while they were falling out of the sky for reasons unknown at the time), MD80, MD-88

Boeing 707 (slow takeoff, flapping wings made in 1952 I think), 727, 737, 747, 757, 767

Favorites:
B777 (roomy as hEll!! Engines are bigger than life).
MD-11 (we took off from Bonaire *on our way to Amsterdam* like a rocket, I'll never forget it).
A300 ( we once took off from MIA without flaps, scared the piss out of me. I didn't know there was a "slats only" take off configuration). The A300 (AA) is my favorite airplane.
B757 (AA): On a winter morning where a snow storm (circa 2005) was closing all NE corridor airports, we were one of the last planes out of EWR. Pilot said a few times he didn't think we would take off due to deteriorating conditions. Sure enough, we took off after being de-iced. Full throttle take off, :thumb3:

Hope to fly: A380/747
 
I'm afraid I've never become too familiar with the civilian models (I'm a military aviation junkie), but I've flown in a couple small 4-seaters (Cessna's of some sort), been on a few airliners of the DC-10 or 727 varieties, and taken rides in a few helicopters, including a Hughes 500 and an old Huey (sitting right next to the open side door!). The best by far, though, was a ride in an SNJ-4 WWII fighter-trainer, where the pilot did a full set of aerobatic maneuvers--what a blast! The dream ride would be to ride along in a Thunderbird or Blue Angel, like those lucky entertainers and politicians are so fortunate to do.
