What aircraft (other than airliners) have you flown or flown on?

This aircraft?

The Trislander

Northrop C-125 Raider?

Hi - Yup, I was thinking of the twin engine Pioneer I saw in the UK, indeed it was the Northrop Raider that I got the ride in. Thanks for the information and letting me get it right.

One thing that puzzled me at the time, why would a high wing aircraft need so much dihedral?

Patrick

Maybe the center section is straight and dihedral is only from engines outboard?

It is straight Don, but it looks like a lot of dihedral to me, too, in this three view.  But then, I've heard it didn't fly too right either.

But the Caribou designed to the same purpose is similar, if not so extreme.

Beaver

Starduster Biplane

Grandpa had a Piper dealership, soloed me and I flew for eight years. He and my Uncle built Stardusters and Pitts. I also served 8 years in the US Navy. We had a Navy flying club. I was an ER physician in the Navy. We utilized a Sea Stallion as a Medevac chopper. Most of the single engine planes I have piloted with the exception of the L-19 and the Beaver. The light twins flown as a passenger. Passenger or ER Physician on the military stuff. Joy riding paying passenger on the B-24. Lots of fun involved!

Not too many, no military.

Collings B-24.

Freight only. No stick time on anything whatsoever.

Mostly corporate stuff.

King Air, Citation.

Fun one was a DeHaviland Dove corporate aircraft that belonged to BAC. We flew all over France and Britain back in the early 60's when my father was evaluating Concorde for United Airlines (spoiler: they didn't buy it). He flew in Concorde; I did not.

Jim Lovell's 421C which a guy I used as a vendor owned.

Most of the Northrop Raiders wound up at Sheppard AFB where they were use as maintenance training airframes until they were sold as surplus. When I was in high school a friend and I found three disassembled examples behind the civil passenger terminal on the base and ruined our clothes crawling through them.

This could be quite a list. Some of these date back to the 1970s when I first started flying. A lot of these are right seat or back seat, but some I actually had the stick/yoke in my hand. Here goes...

In the mid 1980's, I flew from KI Sawyer AFB in Michigan to Dyess AFB in Texas for a TDY. 

My ride was a old school water injection KC-135A tanker and that thing was LOUD. 

Coolest parts of the trip were watching them air refuel a group of F-106A Delta Darts on their way to Red Flag and on the landing, I was allowed to sit in the instructors seat to watch. 

Weird part there was wondering why they were coming in at an angle off to the side; I didn't know about crabbing into the wind at that time but I did know enough to keep my mouth shut while the pilots focused on their job. :-)

Would've loved to get a ride in a B-52 or a Six but I wasn't anywhere near a priority for getting an altitude card. Oh, well. 

Here’s one I forgot! When I was in the U.S. Navy, I got to fly in P-5 Marlin seaplane. Here’s a brief description of that flight, grabbed from a presentation I did recently for an adult ed class about aviation; the photographs are mine. Click on the image to see a larger version:

A few years later, after I had been wounded in Vietnam, I developed a seriouis bone infection in my right femur and was isolated in a sunroom at Balboa hospital. The sunroom overlooked San Diego Bay; I enjoyed watching Marlins taking off and landing. 

Kenny stayed in the Navy and eventually he became a rear admiral. Early in his career he had been a Grumman S2F submarine hunter pilot. He described aircraft carriers as looking about the size of a postage stamp when he was preparing to land on them.

Let me see if I can remember. My Dad was a career Air Force pilot, and flew for an oil company after he retired. One of my uncles, also a career Air Force Pilot, retired to a life as a test pilot, finally ending up as chief pilot at Lear. So, I got to ride in, or fly:

Cessna 172, 210, 208 on floats (trip to Dry Tortugas)

Beechcraft Bonanza and twin Bonanza, Baron, Queen Air, Knig Air (Ride to go out over the gulf to view Haley's Comet!)

Piper twin

Grumman Gulfstream I and II (Flew the II for a bit)

Dassault Falcon 10 and Falcon 20 (Flown the 20, too)

Hughes MD500 (at a Society of Experimental Test Pilot's convention)

Lear Jet 23, 24 and 25, including the bird that was being delivered to George Peppard after he made is in 'The Blue Max' movie.

B-25

That's all I can remember being airborne in, or flying, that's not commercial. I also got to climb through MANY Air Force, and one RAF aircraft of the 1960's and 1970's accompanying my Dad to the flight line, including the No. 1 747 and No. 1 C5A, which were undergoing flight certification testing when my Dad was stationed at Edwards AFB.

Good stuff, CrashTestDummy.

As far as sitting in a cool piece of aviation history goes, I sat in a B-1A when I was 5 in 1976.  My dad was an AF avionics instructor assigned to the new bomber.  That same B-1A is still here in Denver, on display at Wings Over the Rockies.

I can't remember them, but I will try...

You're doing okay for a young guy.  Give it some time.  You might be able to add to that as you get older.  One of the old warbird rides would probably hook you for life.

None.

 I have had the privalidge of riding on many a ww2 aircraft since I am A volonteer for the commemerative airforce.  Hence the name CAFGUY.

I hate flying

Hanggliders and paragliders. Also went up in a Twin Otter but did not come down in it, LOL

Wasn't in condition to know what it was...just long nose single engine turboprop,  3 blade prop, low wing with vertical winglets, T tail.  Oval cabin windows.  Used as a lifeflight bird.  

   Goldhammer88, I believe it was a PC-12 Pilatus. LifeFlight aquired them fro Metro Aviation after the takeover of the Northwest Region 4/5yrs ago. Lovely aircraft that has really long legs and wants to be in the sky. 

Yeah, MC, thought it might be one of those too, but he couldn't recall the model.  Not really a flight I wanted to take without any coverage for one.  Can't wait till I get the bill., They might have to take me back over there when I do see if it.

    I was strictly maintenance however yes a flight on their service is not cheap. Well the good thing is your expecting it. They do have a membership program for a fee/ year but I do not know what it saves you.

May be expecting it, but getting it paid on my SS and a small amount from a pension rollover.  All less than 1700.  Ain't happening.

May have to look to a go fund me pity party.  Been a lousy 3 weeks.  Lost a club member and friend of 45 years, my lady passed a week later and I go down with existing heart a week and a half after that.
