I was lucky to have flown on a TU-134 (window in the bathroom, how cool is that?), and the TU-154 and the IL-76. Been on all the Boeings except the 707, all the Airbus but the 318, and the new A340-500, all the MD-80 series and DC9 and 10, but never the DC8, I missed all that.

Coolest was on a DC-3, all original instruments, got to go in the cockpit. That and I got to sit jumpseat on a A320 once in the cockpit on a 45 minute flight, it was waaay cool and very pre 9/11.

LOL! Sounds like you've flown on as many Aeroflot's as you have Boeing type aircraft. LOL

Was in a DC-3 at a airshow last year. Unbelievable how small it is. But, it did have an aisle for stewardesses!

At the same airshow, I met one of Doolittles raiders- the honor of my life.
