Question Have you ever been on an airplane?

[Spike Spiegel]

It's been a long time since I've been on a plane. Back in high school I was in the Air Force Jr. ROTC program (just during my first year), and we went on a couple of flights. One was in a C-130 and the other was in a KC-135. In my senior year, we went on a trip to the Bahamas (spring break), which involved taking some sort of regional jet. I don't know what type exactly. Hopefully I'll get to fly again someday.

I have been on an airplane 3 times. Twice when I was really young, once when I was 5 and once when I was 7. No idea what kind of aircraft they were . Most recently was in December 2008, on a Boeing 737-800 .http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_737#737-800

I'm flying from PDX to EDI on Friday, and part of the journey will be on an A319 which will be a new one. Also get to do part of the journey on an old favorite, the 777LR

Wow, I've just got a ticket for a flight aboard an An-148! I really wasn't expecting to fly a plane which entered the service in the past year!

Wow - that thing looks severely cool!

I have never piloted a plane, if that's what you mean. I have been passenger. A commercial plane is like taking a bus where you see clouds.

 

[MeDiCS]

Me neither, but I've flown in a 747-400, A380, A320 and another small Boeing plane which I don't recall the name.

 

[Donamy]

I've never been in bigger, than a 3 seater. :lol:

 

[FordPrefect]

Today I will have a jump seat ride on a Boeing 767 to the Maldives...*woot*

 

[insanity]

I just got home from Edinburgh and was able to cross the A319, 767-300, and the EMB 170 off the list.

Bombardier CRJ700

And I think I've missed some.

I fly to Germany aboard WizzAir's Airbus A320s from time to time. I always tend to be the last person in line, so I never get a chance to take a seat other than in front of a wing, obstructing the view
As a kid, I took a passenger's seat in a touristic plane, that I don't remember the name of. Hell lotta fun.

 

[Unstung]

I've been on many Boeing 737s and two Airbus A320s, that may be it for passenger flights. Otherwise, I've been inside many other aircraft.

A challenge for people who are bored: Find out which airlines and plane types I've used on which routes. Some of the items appear multiple times. The items are in alphabetical, but not (always) in chronological order. Hint: have a look at my profile to find out which airport may have acted as the main start/end point.

 

[tblaxland]

How about pretending to be an airplane?

 

[supersonic]

I've been on a,

Cessna 140: many times
Cessna Citation Encore: a few times
Boeing 737-200: two times

With the Cessna 140 I have no idea how many hours I have flown co-pilot.

 

[Hielor]

With the Cessna 140 I have no idea how many hours I have flown co-pilot.

This is what a logbook is for!
