Starts with the first proper swing, how does it go ?

Fuel on, brakes on, throttle set, ...... ignition on..... contact.

Can`t say fairer than that, can we ?

Apart from the brakes, obviously.

I have a fairly boring list but here it is:

PA28-140 -My first flying lesson on this. Very nice aircraft.
C172 M/N/R/S -N version is my favourite
G115A -Even though it's very underpowered it's fun to fly.
PA34-200T - Excellent aircraft for instrument flying.
B737-800 - Great aircraft with plenty of power and a good wing. Very hard to go down and slow down at the same time and in even light turb on the approach pitch varies a lot along with the speed.

Aircraft that I would like to fly but probably won't get the chance:

B737-200 - My favourite aircraft. Got to fly the sim a few times and found it much more enjoyable than the -800.
B707 -What more can be said.

I would also like to get a few tailwheel types in the logbook also

I was hoping you were going to say the Hawker variety of Typhoon, Genghis.

My list is rather humble in comparison:

C-152 Aerobat
C-172 M, N, R
Pa28 161, 181, 200R
Robin R2160
Schweizer 300CB

Sadly not, but it is the Hawker variety of Hunter in the second list. The inverted spin in that is quite fun.

Ahh, Hawker! 3 of the nicest aircraft in my list; Sea Fury, Hunter and of course Harrier. The Hawk was pretty god too!

Not going to get in to a full list but suffice it to say every different machine is a source of new pleasures, the first time. There are soem I'd not care to repeat!

Happy andings all!!

Very similar myself, though 5 years now for the Spit.

Others on the List:-
dH 60, 82a, 83, 85, 87, Chippie, Dove
Issacs Fury
Monocoupe,
Harvard,
Bulldog
Extra 300
RV8
Auster (various)
Mooney M20F

These are on top of the multitude of less interesting machines in the Cessna/Piper/Robin mould and the Boings and Airbus ones flown for work.

Apart from the usual selection of PA-28s and 152s and 172s, last weeks highlight was a Cirrus SR-20 in San Diego including the "harbour tour" at 800 ft and a climb to 4,500 ft into the corridor to overfly Lindbergh Field, KSAN.

Ahhhhh ..... splendid.
