What aircraft types have you flown in?

[Frank]

Hi Guys,

Seeing as there is a thread running on flights in Air Corps aircraft I thought I'd start a thread on flights in any aircraft type.

List whatever aircraft you've flown in and we'll see what wierd and wonderful types show up.

My list is as follows:

Air Corps:
Marchetti
Alouette
Rocket (Cessna)

Warbird:
Yak-52
C-47

I'll add my civil stuff later.


Regards,

Frank.

Helis:B212,Al.III, Dauphin,Gazelle,R22, Hughes 500.Had 2 lessons in the R22.

Flown:Rallye 100,Tiger Moth,C.150/152/Aerobat,Jodel 112/117/120,Zenith 200,Rutan LongEze,Cessna 172 D,G,M,N,P,R.;Tampico TB9,Piper Tomahawk,Piper Cub(J-3 and L-4), Cherokee PA28-140/180 and Arrow 200R/T,Decathlon,Stampe,Motor Tutor, Katana,Grumman AA-5,Chipmunk,Evans VP-1/2,Luton Minor,Cessna 185,CFM Shadow B/D/Starstreak,Kitfox II and III,Beech Duchess,Islander,Cessna 206,Cessna P210 Turbine, Piper Super Cub,Vans RV-6,Tecnam P2000JF,Chevron motorglider,Whittaker MW-5/6,Xair, Samba and BFC Challenger microlights, Pegasus flexwing, G120 gyrocopter...also flew the Fouga and SF260, unofficially.
A lot of these have been repeats, such as 130 hrs. in C.172s.I've also done 40+ hours in Frasca sims (Seminole/Navajo/PA28/BE76 and the B737-200 sim in EIDW).
This has been achieved, in a lot of cases, by simply loitering with intent around airfields and some shameless begging doesn't hurt,either.Any pilot worth his/her salt will not refuse a request for a seat, if at all possible.

Rather than making a big list,

I was at and saw all the aircraft at ATI 93(Including the MIG29 Mid air,Chivenor 1993, ATI94.. I dont think there were many of the exotic types not at those shows..

Next question...



How many Mid Air colissions have you witnessed?

How many Cockpit Ejections have you witnessed?

 

[GoneToTheCanner]

Hi Sealion
Crashes: I was in one, witnessed one and saw the consequences of quite a few (mostly light aircraft) and salvaged a few (2 Marchettis and a Cessna) and have inspected the repairs to aircraft after them.They're not fun and sound awful when they happen, big or small.
