• Lockheed L1011
• Boeing 747SP
• Boeing 747-200
• Tupolev 154
• Airbus A380

I've been on the MD11, DC10, B763 and B752 which are some of my favourite aircraft, particularly the MD11 and DC10 - If I made a list of which I would fly on regardless if i've been on or not it would be

• Lockheed L1011
• Boeing 747SP
• McDonnell-Douglas DC10
• McDonnell-Douglas MD11
• Boeing 767-200/300

411A, maybe a few rides for us L1011 lovers?

[BYALPHAINDIA]

Yeah, It would be good if 411A organised a pleasure flight on his L1011.

SR71
English Electric Lightning

Might manage the A380 in the next six months, but apart from that, it looks like I've missed the boat.

[apaddyinuk]

Concorde (No brainer there)
VC-10 (Best looking subsonic airliner ever to fly)
Connie (Best looking airliner full stop!)
CV880 (Just cos I think they look cool)
Stratocruiser (The original one!)

[barit1]

I have to tell this story -

When I was a teen I had a weird dream; I had built a 1/10 scale B-36 with six chainsaw engines. I had a motorcycle seat on the fwd fuselage and was just taking off -

then I woke up.

[Tmbstory]

I wish

I would have liked to fly a P51 Mustang. Nearly arranged it once but the Regulatory Authority said we had to have prior P51 or similar experience, so lost the chance.

Whatever I'm being paid to fly at any given time. I don't care what kind of powerplants, how many, the number of wings, if the gear goes up or down, or how fast. I'm just as happy in a Cessna 172 as a Super Cub as a 747.

I really liked the Air Tractor 802, and I liked the C-130.

The 20 series Lears were a lot of fun.

I think the most fun I ever had in an airplane was a Lake Amphibian. Something about quietly floating with the cockpit hatch door open after landing in the finger of a lake, and having a water snake swim up to the cockpit that ranked up there with one of the neatest experiences I've ever had in a light airplane.

Then again, ask me on any given day, and whatever I'm flying, there's your answer on that day. Any day flying is better than a day sitting thinking about flying.

[MOLWillie]

SR71 just to see that curve.

I'm happy with my putt putt Cessna but sometimes I like to pedal faster.

[spamcanner]

BCAL NEVER flew TriStars, shame on you. DC10-10s and DC10-30s only

Er, I think you'll find they did. I was lucky enough to
have a jumpseat ride on one to Lanzagrotty in the
late 90s. Lovely jet

[Skipness One Echo]

No you are wrong. British Caledonian NEVER flew the TriStar, and especially not in 1990 considering they were absorbed into BA in 1987 !

What you flew on was an ex BA TriStar that was flying for Caledonian, the rebranded British Airtours. Different companies mon ami.

[Guest 112233]

B36

Hey a 1/10 scale model of a B36 - Still a big aeroplane.

Ones I have flown 1) Tiger Moth Yep - The Gods smile.
2) Aerobat - More please
3) PA28 - Have to start someware.
4) Concorde - In my dreams.
5) Bleriot Monoplane (Across the
Channel in my Dreams)

Anything with wings will do - Earthbound. Will happly slip those surly bonds. CAT III

[Avman]

Heck, do you mean fly in as pax or as PIC? Whatever, as pax:

Having been lucky enough to experience many prop types such as the Airspeed Ambassador, DC-3/4/6/7, Lockheed Constellation, Curtiss C-46,
L-188 Electra, Viscount, Vanguard, Convair 440, Martin 404, YS-11 and the IL-18; it would have to be the ones I missed out on:

1. Bristol B-170 (missed out when one I was due to fly on went tech)
2. B377 Stratocruiser (missed a chance to fly on a C-97)
3. Vickers Viking
4. IL-14
5. Bristol Britannia (missed out on a ride in a British Eagle example)

Btw 411A, I loved the Tristar but it had one major flaw: no propellers!

I am not a licenced pilot. If I was, I'd love to get my hands on:

1. The connie (of course)
2. DC-6
3. Spitfire
4. Lancaster
5. Mosquito

[RJ100]

Would have to be...

1. Concorde
2. L1011
3. B747-200
4. B727
5. Connie
