Ever since AA announced ORD-DME, I've been hellbent to get out to Russia. All I can think about is getting on one of these:

I would fly on any a/c that I haven't been on yet, only if it is operated by a "safe" airline.

I'd love to get back on an MD-11. I had just gotten old enough to appreciate its magesty when SR took it off the JFK-GVA route and I miss it so much!
Others include 777 (200 and 300), CRJ-700/900, EMB-190, 737-900, IL-96, A380, 747 (upper deck!), and ATR-72 (been so long, I'd love to go back to JTR with OA!)

High on my wish list are the DC-8, DC-6, 7 and C-46, all should be possible.
Caravelle.... is just a dream one will ever be refurbished to fly.
Quoting PlymSpotter (Reply 4): all remain possible (....) B727-100
BAC1-11
F227
Hi Dan,
The 727-100 will be hard. The only way I can think of is the Ecuadorian Air Force 727-100. I visited it in May in Quito and it looks great, in full pax configuration. But it is not dispatched on commercial flights, but I think there are some essential services the Air Force flies with it on which tickets will be sold.
The 1-11; it doesn't fly with SCAT anymore but now I read Tombouctou Aviation in Mali has two 400s and will fly scheduled services with them! Let's pack for Mali
The FH-227 is really impossible. I have tried in Argentina, Mexico and Honduras to fly on it, but now it's just not flying anymore. HR-ASK in Honduras was the last one flying in 2004. The only airworthy FH-227 now is with the Burmese Air Force. The Fairchild F-27 should be possible though, there should be one flying in Honduras. I tried to get on the Fairchild built F-27s in Ecuador and Bolivia but they hardly fly.
nobody has ever died from hard work, but why take the risk?

That's interesting, I didn't actually know about that one, I should be going to Equador in summer 2009, so I'll definately get on it then, if it's still flying! I was actually thinking about a skydiving company in the US, they operate a 727-100 for mass jumps - when you need a few more seats onboard than a couple of DHC6's can give you.

Hadn't heard about that either - I was thinking about Daalo airlines who 'modernised' their fleet and replaced the Il-18 with a 1-11! Mali sounds good though, a bit safer no doubt than Somalia at the moment.

Darn, that's a shame, I'd heard it was still operating in Central America - but I guess not anymore Still, can't have them all I suppose.

Do you know which airline or registration? I only know Perris Valley who have a DC-9 for skydiving.

25 PlymSpotter: Damn, perhaps that's what I'm thinking of then. My memory is obviously going already!
26 Elite: B707 and the A380... and of course the Concorde, but sadly that is no longer possible. I've flown on most other Boeing / Airbus jets already.

31 StarAlliance38: Cool responses! Its been 10 years since I have been on a 747 so I kinda miss that. I like the Fokkers and the Shorts so that is also on my list. Also

34 Paneuropean: Boeing 77W Boeing 764 Airbus 330 Airbus 380
35 Warren747sp: Boeing 736 to see if it's take off performance is really as good as the B752!
36 TSS: I'm happy to fly in any aircraft, but I'm especially looking forward to flying in the 787 and CSeries.
37 CairnterriAIR: Way too many to mention... I would love to step back in time and fly aboard a Boeing Stratocruiser, a Constellation, or a DC-7. A ride aboard a WWII b
39 Kmh1956: I haven't flown ANYWHERE since March....so I'd have to say that anything with wings would suit me, thank you very much.
40 RKDFlier: Tu-204 MD11 B747 Mostly the Tu204. The others I have a better chance to get on though.

46 BNE: DC9 NW any version; I guess I could just get to the US and fly on Northwest. A300 TG probably the best for this. A310 RJ BKK-HKG A321 JQ might try and
48 Kaitak: I'd love to fly on a 727-100, DC8, 707 (even a military one would do) and any Russian type. Of the modern types, my first priority is the A380, then t
