Greg B Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Probably one of the more unusual ones, an IL-18 with Berline. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berline_(airline) UN charter flight to get us from Hannover to Split in early 93. It was a heap. We had to load it ourselves and I was not enthused with the wooden planking for the flooring and the massive gaps between them. I’ve seen better constructed barns after a shelling. onboard the three rows of seats astride the wings were out of bounds because of the noise of the engines and the stewardesses were obviously team mates from the DDR shotputting squad. The only highlight was that after takeoff they rolled out the food trolley and starting handing us bottles of Berliner Kindl beer. There we were, rifles between our legs because they wouldn’t fit in the overheads and the Sgt Maj arguing with the stews about feeding us clowns beer and losing in the size, aggression and moustache stakes. it was a relief to fly back on a RAF Herc for R & R 4 months later even though we had an engine shutdown halfway back. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiseca Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Some very interesting lists on here! my hiatory is mostly regular stuff already mentioned by many others. The usual Boeings and Airbuses. I guess one small factor that added a few slightly less common aircraft to my list ia that I grew up and started my career in South Africa. my first flight was on an SAA 747-200 back when their livery still had the dark blue mask around the windshield. Later on, regional business trips, often to mining communities and towns, saw me on a bunch of Dash-8s generally, and there was one flight back from Cape Town to JHB in what to me at the time looked like some or other bizjet but looks likely to have been an early Bombardier CRJ, and from the size I would guess a 200 series. That flight was memorable because we took off at night and climbed through a thunderstorm. The view of nature being awesome was spectacular and the turbulence was less than I was expecting. Only other flight of note from that time was some or other propjet with Zambia Air, up from the capital to the copperbelt. That was not a fun flight. I've had a few pleasure flights too, my favourites being in helicopters (Bell 206 and 209). In UK I've had a photography flight in a Piper Cub, and a nice trip in a Cessna 172 / 182, or, as my memory is of it maybe having a low wing, possibly a Piper Cherokee. I've sat in the cockpit of a Mirage 3 (SAAF, CZ I think) but unlike a previous poster, I never had the pleasure of a flight in one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KRK4m Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 My list will be short, because working 15 years in aviation (okay, let's say at the aviation museum) I met too many pilots and from now on I prefer to drive a car - at least within Europe. But before that (in first 35 years of my life) I experienced a flight in: Lisunov Li-2 Ilyushin Il-14 Ilyushin Il-18 Ilyushin Il-62 Antonov An-2 Antonov An-24 Antonov An-26 PZL M-28 Tupolev Tu-134 Tupolev Tu-154 HS Trident Boeing 767 Mil Mi-8 Yakovlev Yak-12 Then, already in the 21st century, I was in the air only 2 times - once it was a B737 and the other time an A320. However, 2 planes deserve a special mention. One was the PZL-104 Wilga, which I piloted for a few minutes over Krosno (of course, a dual-control one with an instructor on the seat next to me) and a Curtiss P-40M from the Fighter Collection, which Stephen Gray himself flew me for several minutes over Cambridge and the surrounding area (see avatar). I do not mention simulators and hundreds of machines in which I sat at the controls, but when on the ground with the engine turned off.

Learstang Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 The one that really stands out for me, and I'm probably one of the few people on BM who can say this, was I flew on a USAF C-121 Super Constellation (my father was in the Army, and we were flying to his next post in the Panama Canal Zone). When I was all of 9 mos. old. Obviously, I don't remember it, but it still makes me happy to think I flew on one of those beautiful Connies.

spruecutter96 Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 This is not something I've flown on, but an American friend of mine did. A two-seater Mig-29 in Russia. Am I jealous of his experience? You darned-tootin' betcha, I am! Having said that, the flight did set him back a mere $15,000... and that was 10 or 15 years ago. He gave me his business-card. It had an image of him during the flight, in the old-style, Soviet helmet. Great memories for him, I'm sure. Also, A British friend of mine had a 45-minute flight in the Canadian Lancaster.... which a well-to-do friend of his paid for! Lucky fella... Cheers.
