Some of the ones I recall with specific years include Vickers Viscount in 1970, Boeing 707 in 1979, Convair 580 in 1985, Hawker Siddley 748 in 1987, DeHavilland Twin Otter in 1989. Others in the 80s and 90's would include the DeHavilland Dash 7, Fokker F28, Fokker 100, Bae 146-200, Saunders ST28, Beechcraft King Air 100, Pilatus PC-12 and a couple of others I can't recall.

Then there would be the more common aircraft and most of the variants: 727, DC9, DC10, MD11, L1011, 757, 737, 747 and just about every Airbus product. I would suspect there are damn few that I missed if it was in main-line commercial service in North America in the last 50 years. The exceptions that I know of are the DC3 and DC6 both of which were used in the Arctic.
