All Civies,
MD10

ATR 72
A320
Snooped around a Blackhawk, Chinnock, A111, the Gasu Squrriel, Marchetti, Fouga, Dauphin, Gazelle, A109, Jet Ranger and Civie Squrriel. Islander. Can't remember the rest of the Civies
Best plane to have a kip on I found is the ATR72, maybe because I use it a lot, or I am so knackered I don't know

Hi Pilatus
It was a Shadow, in 2000.It went like this:"Oh,Jesus!...BANG!(collision with tree, canopy disintegrates,right wing begins to break off)...BANG!(right wing departs, aircraft turns and begins to spin)...BANG! (aircraft strikes ground, cartwheels, breaks apart, engine and fuel tanks torn off)...CRUNCH!(aircraft comes to rest).....OOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!....Jesus! I'm alive". Total time elapsed:about five seconds max....I didn't see a thing because I had my eyes closed with a second to go..........I saw a fella crash at the PFA Rally one year.He stalled on take-off and piled in from about fifty feet.It sounded like a crate getting hit by a truck! He survived, with a broken arm.Honestly, when you can see it about to happen, it is truly breath-taking and horrible at the same time.
Anyhow, try not to have them.They hurt and cost money.
regards

Hi Pilatus
There are easier ways to get experience, aren't there!? I was very,very lucky to survive and have probably used up several of the mythical cat's nine lives in that crash.It also gave me an insight into the results/outcome of an air crash, such as the immediate onrush of speculation/educated and non-educated guesses/untruths and the effect that has on the person/s in the event.I saw the reports in the newspapers a few days later and, whilst they were broadly accurate, there was some awful tosh written.In fact, whilst writing on another forum, there was so much rubbish being written by the users that I wrote up a full account of the event and it's aftermath, just to clear the air.Even so, I still had complete strangers coming up to me, well after the event, asking me if I was the guy who had crashed the Shadow(not always politely,either).It is one surefire way to find out how small the aviation community really is, in Ireland.And how fast the grapevine really is!
In short: don't have an air crash unless you really can stand being talked about.
regards
GttC

I forgot. I once sat in a virgin axpress boeing or airbus. Don't know those civil airliner types, but it was for a giant crash exercise on Brussels Zaventem airport. never left the ground though and it took more then 30mins before the first ambulance arrived.
