How many plane types have you been on?

[Deleted member 29185]

.... but no SC.

Say what? ... I thought that's how I gained silver with EK! :shock:

 

[Kefci2000]

Seeing a flyertalk bio with the OP discussing his only flight on an A380 being his favourite flight moment prompred me to think about how many different types of aircraft I have flown in since my first flight 40 years ago when I was 11.

There was a similar thread a while ago.

Thanks for this Happy Trails, I guess should merge and close?

Regretted omissions: B787 (so far ...), Concorde; thankful omission: DC10, anything Tupolev.

I don't count the tiddlers.

I think I have flown all the main western aircraft. Starting with a Britannia doing a multi-hop voyage to England in 1972 as a toddler. I agree with Rooflyer - small ones don't count.

Easier for me is to identify the ones I have missed but would love to fly - there are two main ones, the A350, and the DC3.

My three favorites are 747, for sheer nostalgia/magnificence, the A380, as long as it is in F on Emirates which is IMHO as good as it gets, and the Caribou - a non-frills thing but can take you off the beaten track

 

[OZDUCK]

One of my regrets is that I while I have flown on at least one B707, B727, B737, B777 & B787 I have never flown on a B747.

I have actually been on a number of them in the 1970's & 80's when in Customs but always on the ground. One of the more fun times was, during a training course about aircraft searches which I never actually performed, having a LAME (in aircraft engineering terms) opening up various panels on-board and having a look up the huge tail space, the gallery above the ceiling panels in the "hump" and the avionics compartment above the nose wheel.

I've been travelling since I was 6mths old in 1985 (benefits of having a Scottish mum who's desire that my sister and I know our Scottish family outweighed her and my dad's desire to not continuously remortage their house) so have collected quite a few versions of the 747 haha!!

As far as I can tell my list is looking something like this:
- 747 (definitely 400 multiple times, I'd wager I've flown the 200 and 300 at least, potentially the 100 too but not sure about that): Qantas, Air France, KLM, Malaysian, Singapore, United
- 777: Singapore, United, Cathay Pacific, Virgin Australia, Delta
- 767: United, Qantas
- 757: Delta, EasyJet (marketed as EasyJet, operated by someone else), United
- 737: Qantas, Virgin Australia, Malaysian, Air France, Delta
- A320: Ansett, Qantas, British Airways, Air New Zealand, Aer Lingus, British Midland
- A321: British Airways
- A330: Cathay Pacific
- A380: Singapore
- A350: Singapore (first new type in at least 10 years, ticked it off in December)
- A340: Cathay Pacific
- BAe 146: AirUK (and later as KLMUK)
- Avro RJ: British Airways
- E170: British Airways
- E190: Virgin Australia
- Dash8: Flybe (Q400), Qantaslink (100/200 or 300, can't remember)
- ATR72: Virgin Australia

Pretty sure that's it, at least as far as I can remember, a lot of these are only 1 or maybe 2 flights though in terms of raw numbers the 737 will be far and away my most common, thanks to a couple of years flying the east coast triangle on Virgin Australia

AFF Flight Tracker tells me 62 different types of aircraft but many of those would be sub-variants I guess.

B707
B717
B727 - 200
B737 - 200 / 300 / 400 / 700 / 800 / 900
B747 - 200 / 300 / 400
B757
B767 - 200 / 300 / 400
B777 - 200 / 300
B787 - 8 / 9

A300
A319
A320
A321
A330 - 200 / 300
A340
A380

DC - 9 / MD - 82 / 83 / 90
DHC - 6 Twin Otter
Tristar
EMB110
ERJ - 140 / 145 / 170 / 190
BAe146
BAe Jetstream - 31 / 32 / 41

Dash8 - 200 / 300 / Q400
CRJ - 200 / 700 / 900

F27 (* highly probable I flew on an East-West F28 as well when they were around...)
F50

ATR42
ATR72 - 200 / 500 / 600
Metroliner
Beech1900D
Beech King Air
Saab340
Shorts360

About 7 or 8 other types that wouldn't be widely available.
and a couple of different bug smashers.

Best aircraft type is any of them when sitting in J or F.
Worst is the cigar of death (Metro).
Only regret is never having had the chance to fly on Concorde.

[MEL_Traveller]

the ones that got away ... Caravelle, VC10

Out of western jetliners, for me the ones that 'got away' are the Comet, Convair 880/990, Dassault Mercure, VC10, Fokker 614 and the Dornier 328 jet. Quite a list

Thanks JB747
I didn't realise the other post existed and saw you posted there including ones you had flown and were qualified on.

A lot of history there, I recall sitting in the coughpit of a couple of 747's in the mid 70's when that was still allowed. Great memories
