Not nearly as many different types as Maggiemae (Bob) and some others on here, I'm sure. But, since you asked:

Piper PA-28 Cherokee: (learned to fly in one like this)


Cessna 150 Commuter:


Cessna 172 Skyhawk:


Cessna 177 Cardinal II:


Cessna Cardinal 177RG: (Yep, this one!)


For Uncle Sam

TH-55 for Primary Flight School:


TH-13T for Instrument training:


UH-1B "Huey":


UH-1D/H: (My favorite, by far!)


Enstrom F-28: (Got checked out in this about 25 years after I left the Army, just to see if I still could fly one...I could! Just like riding a bike, though at upwards of $200/hr, only got about 5 or 6 hours in it)


And thanks to my flight instructor neighbor, 1 hour in the C-5M Full-motion Simulator:

Awesome. Was watching a movie and one of the characters was learning to fly a helicopter. Made me wonder how many you knew how to fly. Thanks for sharing.

I have hours in the first three on your list. Most of my time was in taildraggers though, like the Taylorcraft, Citabria and Cub. Haven't flown since 1999 though, probably won't again.

So would I. It was the most fun I've had in my life, including sex. * (Don't tell Mrs. Raptor I said that.)

*That's an F14 Tomcat, BTW.
