Cessna 150/152/172/180/182/185/195/206/210/310/402/404/441.

Piper 28-140/180/235, PA38, PA30/39, PA32-300, PA600-680p/700p

Beechcraft 35/36/76/55/58/80

Jets F28/C560/DA200/BAE146/B767/B777

Probably missed some - there are a few more I have flown enough to feel competent in (at the time) but for various reasons didn't/haven't yet finished the type rating, like the DC3/BE200/T28D. Almost certainly won't with the Dak/Kingair but still hope to get around to finishing the T28D. There are a few more that I have flown but not landed or taken off - T6/Vampire (the mil jet Vampire) and B25 - so I don't really count them. The T6 is on my bucket list.

Never met an aeroplane I didn't like - there is no such thing as a bad aeroplane.

I would still enjoy climbing back into any of the above and still fly a handful of them.

Current in the C180/185/195/PT17/DH82a/RV10/B777. Even enjoyed a few hrs in a PA28-140 in the last few years.

As a few of my mates on this board will attest - show me an aeroplane, any aeroplane, and I get a silly grin. Give me the keys to something I haven't flown before and I get positively giddy...if its old enough to be 'pre keys' I am liable to embarrass myself

So many aeroplanes - so little time.
