yep, a couple -100s in the 1980s (plus a bunch of ex-QX birds in Continental Express livery to and from CLE in the 2006-2011 timeframe); also probably a dozen of the little F.28s in the late 1990s

-700s for sure (I was on N216AG, LGB-PDX, Aug 2012); not sure they had the CR9s


per my log, I've been on 60 Q400 flights -- first in Aug 2003, most recent in Aug 2019 -- incl more than a few long ones (600+ miles, 2+ hours at cruise): LAX-BOI/SUN, SEA<->STS/BIL, SEA-RNO, BZN-PDX
