I can only tell for sure the following 2:

MX ORD-GDL 727-200 March, 2003
DL BOS-MCO L-1011 December, 1995

but I am sure that when I was little I flew at least once in AM and MX's DC-10's.

I flew in June, 2004 AM ACA-MEX in a DC-9. I hope that AM's DC-9's will be retired soon so that the average age of the fleet wil decrease and more routes will be served by 73W's.

Well yesterday i got the chance to probably for the last time fly on a DC-9-10. I flew it MSP-STL yesterday, I got some great pics, and the First Officer even took pics for me on his walk around. I will try and get them uploaded.

For me, a prominent one is Ethiopian Airlines B767-260 (ET-AIZ) flight ET730 from ADD - FRA back in December '93. Sadly, it went down into the Indian Ocean 3 years later following that hijack. It was in an all-white scheme when I last flew in it, I believe following its wetlease to Air Tanzania.

flew on a United 727 from Pittsburgh to Chicago and then another to San Antonio. Was the only time that I ever flew on a 727. Now that I think about it, it's also the only time I've ever flown on United.

I flew on a few Piedmont 727's... I know US Airways doesn't fly them anymore.

In 2000 I flew on four different AirTran DC9's. This was just a few months after they had taken delivery of the first 717, and before any Diesel9's were retired.
