What have you flown so far?

[Mike]

So, Frank and I have been talking in the thread "flinging bovine excrement" about a new thread similar to the post your picture and that kind of stuff.

Let's list all the cool stuff you have flown over the years. ANYTHING you got your hands on, license or no license, rating or no rating, just as long as you were at least in the air holding the controls and moved them a little.

Lets see how many aircraft types we can rack up here!

If anyone would like to add a plane to my list just give me a call and we will go fly it!!!!

[Frank N. O.]

Wow that's a cool list we already have here! I'm surprised to see that I'm first to list this type:

F-177RG

Yeah that's a short list, but still a wonderful experience and one I hope to have again.

C310: LOL at the Beech name-joke, and a great final line to the post too and I think that one sums it up for most if not all of us here

Mike: Cool 2.5 hr ride you got there!
Btw how is a Seminole to fly?

Frank

[Gulfstream Driver]

Let's see...

First plane ever was a Mooney, I think.  Had no idea what type.  Then:

C-172
Diamond Katana (C model)
Piper Cadet
Warrior
Arrow
Seminole
Decathalon
Mooney M20-C
C-152
Archer (and Cherokee 180...basically the same thing)
C-177RG

I think that's it.  I tried to put it in chronological order...

Frank, the Slowminole...I mean the Seminole isn't too bad.  We always said it had the glide ratio of a chomed set of car keys, but I did like flying it.  It flies just like a big Cherokee.  It's a great twin engine trainer, but if you want to actually go somewhere, you're better off getting a fast single.  You'll get there faster and use less fuel.

[Mike]

Oh, I forgot the:

V-tail Bonanza (the one that belongs to Harrison Ford even!! who else gets to do that??!!!)
C-182RG
and
the Grumman Tiger

[C310RCaptian]

Do simulators count?? I got to fly the B-2 Sim at Whitman Air Force base for an hour. That was fun. If you ever get to fly one remember not to flair on landing. You will start to climb and finally stall. You have to force it on the runway. It wants to glide forever. That was the hardest part to overcome…besides the night refueling…

[Mike]

That's some handy information there buddy!
I will remember that for the next time I go fly the B2.

HA HA, just kidding!
I actually think it's cool you got to fly that simulator, must have been amazing and it definetly counts since I think you got the closest to flying one of those of anybody here in the forum.
But let's not count any playstation simulators here, only "real" and "full motion" simulators!

[Gulfstream Driver]

Oh, yeah.  182 time.  I've got that, too. 

Also got to fly one of Northwest's 757 sims in high school.  That was an awesome experience.

You mean my Frasca 242 time doesn't count here?   

[Roland]

Frank, the Slowminole...I mean the Seminole isn't too bad.  We always said it had the glide ratio of a chomed set of car keys, but I did like flying it.  It flies just like a big Cherokee.  It's a great twin engine trainer, but if you want to actually go somewhere, you're better off getting a fast single.  You'll get there faster and use less fuel.

also it has counter-rotating props so it doesn't have a critical engine. although some would argue that you do because if you loose one engine the other one is the only one left and therefore critical.

[Gulfstream Driver]

I've heard that the critical engine isn't as big a deal as the FAA says it is.
