About 300 hours on Cessnas
About 300 hrs on Pipers
About 200 hrs on varied other singles
About 150 hrs on twins (Aztec, Seneca, C421c)
About 1000 hrs on B767
About 4000 hrs on B757

Now I'm bored and want to fly something that requires a bit of effort. Anyone want to loan me a Tigermoth?

Of all the stuff I have flown I'm sort of partial to the PBY.

Out of interest, did you ever fly a Sunderland? My Grandfather was radio/nav officer on them during the war.

AB - you can add Koliber to your hands-on list, unless your experience in -AJ was something you want to forget!

Had a share in the same Chipmunk (except for a couple of years in a Yak52 group) since 1979. Chippy is my favorite.

Also have a fair bit of time in:

Yak52
L4 Cub
Super Cub
Citabria
The usual GA types - C150 / 152 / 172, PA 28 / 38 - all pretty uninspiring.


Also, some P1 time in:

Tiger Moth
Beech Muskateer (the worst type I've flown)
Grob 115
Cessna 185 and 205
Acrosport
AA5A


And flown once only under supervision:

Stearman
Waco YMF-5
Navajo


Gliders:

T21
Bocian
Ka4
K13
Motor Falke

SSD

20 on AA-5A/B
100ish on PA28-161

And have just done my taildragger so:

8 on PA-18-90
1 on Tiger Moth
1 on CAP-10

Hopefully the PA-28 & CAP-10 times will have increased by the end of the week.
