Brian,

No L049 or L1049?  And no L1011?  No DC-10?  Common for those of us of the same vintage.  I lived in the midwest and central plains and was oft a passenger Frontier and Ozark airlines flights, Frontier mostly in Convair 580's and Ozark in Fairchild F-27's, and later Allegheny in both of those same models.  Also Skyways commuter service in Beech 99s.

Frank- I missed the Lockheeds and DC-10. As a child I often flew from Seattle to Missoula, Montana- that was Western airlines Convair 241. Lucky enough to fly on a DC-7 as a youngest just as they were phased out.

Flown in a fair few aircraft from military such as MB339CB, P-3K, C-130, Seasprite, Huey, - all the way to most Boeings etc. Just the usual commuter aircraft we have all flown on, and the odd chopper like the Hughes 500.

 

But to be honest..I was more excited that posters in this thread managed to find the space bar and enter key on their keyboards..the early posts were painful....      :lol:

Most memorable rides:

1992 - got to ride in jumpseat of a 747 flight from St Louis to Los Angeles from around Kansas City VOR (MCI) to approx Peach Springs, Arizona, VOR (PGS).  Was invited in by a senior crew making their final flights as they were being furloughed into early retirement following their continuation flight from LAX to Honolulu.  Was not able to be on the deck during climb or descent. This came about when I dropped by the flight deck as I boarded and struck up a conversation about their planned route, cruise altiude, and discussed subLogic's Flight Assignment: ATP, that a group of us on Prodigy had formed a virtual airline.  Would never have happened if it had not been their last day.

 

1971 - as flight forecaster at Ft Leonard Wood, Missori, was invited to ride along on a UH1A Huey training flight.  The pilots pulled an unannounced autorotation on me.  THEY got a kick out of it.  I did not!

 

2004 - friend and I got a ride along on a C121 Super Connie that had been restored at Camarillo, California.  The mostly european crew was logging hours to gain type certification prior to their ferry flight from Camarillo to Switzerland.  That Super Connie is quite active today at European air shows.  My Avsim profile avtar is a photo of me sitting in the left seat (while sitting on the ground).  Here are a couple of other photos from that day.  I always get a kick out of seeing those two old airline tickets.  Each $8.00 total from LAX to Kansas City, plus $1.20 in tax.  

 

Also note on the ticket the origination of the name TWA.  Transcontinental & Western Air, Inc.  Later to become Trans World Airlines.

SIC, 2 airlines:  E170/175, and the DHC-8.  I miss flying the Dash but I sure like the fact that the Embraer actually cools down in the summer.  Plus, it's nice not doing 8 leg days in the northeast.  Especially in the winter.  

 

PIC:  BE-76, C150/152/172/182/182RG, PA28/34/44, and an odd one....Symphony 160.  

Sailplanes, PIC:  Schweizer 1-26, 2-22, 2-32, 2-33, and 1-34.  Grob 103, and LET L-23.  

 

As a passenger:

A318/319/320/321

A330-200/300

A340-300

ATR-72

Avro RJ85

B717

B727-100/200

B737-200/300/400/500/700/800

B757-200/300

B767-200/300/400

B777-200

CE402 (Cape Air)

CRJ-200/700/900

DC-9-10/30/40/50
