Is there any type of airliner that you wish you had been able to fly in, but are unable to do so now as they are either no longer in the skies, or virtually impossible to find a route they still operate ??
In 1990 I flew ARN-LGW. Two days after my flight, BA sent a Concorde on the daily LGW-ARN-LGW flight to celebrate Gatwick 60 years. I felt really bad that I missed the plane by two days only.

IBERIA747: You would have loved the L1011. Flying F/C in one was truly great.

you list is WAAAAAAAAY bigger than mine and you've only been alive like a year more than me ! , I visit American twice a year and fly internally ( in U.K and USA) about once or twice a month ( USA about twice a year) since I was about 1 yrs old ! However you've flown on more aircraft TYPES than me , not sure how many time you've flown ? Plus my god Farther was a BA 742 F/E (I don't wish it to sound like I'm boasting , if I am it is NOT intentional and please accept my apology's )
Happy flying .
Always stand up for what is right, even if it means standing alone..
I listed how many times ive flown on each type in parenthesis. (but not hours wise) I fly to greece at least once a year, usually through london, and usually twice a year to colorado, plus any extras. when we take a different airline to greece, i get more aircraft types!!
