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

More than some but less than lots.
The best entry by far though is one of a couple of weeks ago:
Spitfire!

Courtesy of Excel, which is where I seem to keep my logbook these days - and also the reason this is in descending order of hours.

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

Cessan 172
Cessna 150
Cessna 150 Aerobat
Cessna 152
Cessna 172 Reims Rocket
Cessna 210
Piper Pa28 140
Piper Pa28 161
Grumman AA5
FLS Sprint
Sportavia Putz RS180 Sportsman

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

G

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!!

Quiksilver MXLII
Quicksilver MXL
American Aerolites Eagle
Chaser

SportCruiser

C152
Eurostar SL

Built 3, bent 1

In the last three months C152, C172, C182, PA18, PA32R, BE35.

In the past interesting to me have been TigerMoth, PT17, Harvard, SF260, Fuji 200, Zlin 43.

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.

Oh well, if we're talking about aircraft we've bent as well, (see Patowalker's post). Yep, I've done it, i've pranged...but I shall do this only once...!!!:\

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.
