To the best if my knowledge these are the 50 different aircraft I remember flying. although My first flights were at 1 month old on Delta flying BOS-ATL and ATL-MGM roundtrip, and I flew several times a year most of my life with 15 years of flying 250-300 aircraft a year

Couldn't tell you when most of my last flights were, but I can approximate some of them. I'm sure I'm forgetting a model or two.

Vickers Vanguard, LHR-GLA, May 1972.
727-100. Who knows when? I was on the last of UA's first 727-100, SFO-SEA, in 1992 (give or take a year). Met my brother at SEA, and he then took the employee-only flight SEA-BFI.
737-200. Who knows when?
707-320, HK (SPIA - South Pacific Island Airways), HNL-GUM, 1 Oct 1984.
727-200. Who knows when?
DC9-30. Either OMA-STL or STL-OMA, 1982 or 1983 (one direction was EA DC9-30, the other was TW 727-200, but don't remember which was which way).
CV-580, RC, MKE-ORD, summer 1980.
L-1011. DL, ATL-PDX, I think about 1993.
A-310. DL, CLE-MCO, 1992.
DC-6. RNO-SFO, 1 week before UA retired them (1968?).
747-200. ORD-SFO, early 1990s. Was supposed to be a DC-10 (wanted a last flight before they retired) but suffered a plane swap (in this case, "suffered" is definitely the right word for that flight).
720. Either SFO-ORD or ORD-SFO, who knows when?
EMB-120: SEA-EUG, Thanksgiving 1986.
DC-8-30/50. Who knows when? On UA.
DC-8-6x/7x. Later than the other, but again, who knows when?
737-300. Who knows when?
737-400. US, CLT-ORD, but don't remember which trip it was.
737-500. Who knows when?

I can’t remember the name but it was a twin engine turbo-prop that looked like a flying boxcar
(and I know there are more but I’m down with a wikid bad cold and what’s left of my brain is all stuffed up )

Maybe a Shorts 330 or 360?


Shorts 330


Shorts 360

Had I not flown on the Air Panama F27, I would have been on an Aeroperlas SD360 on BOC-PAC.

-J.

goalie

Yup, that’s it and thank you And I flew both the 330 and the 360

YVR Cockroach

Do you, by any chance have these two routes switched around? I can't see any flavour of DC-9 or its descendants flying nearly 4,000 miles - even with a good tail wind - but I am prepared to be surprised.

YVR Cockroach

You were scheduled to fly on AA 4184 on 31-10-1994? So it seems that the ATR is a fairweather (or at least warm weather) flyer and not suitable for extreme cold conditions..

Did a string of 5 flights last year and in 2016 albeit in the tropics.

JDiver

There are some people with some truly awesome and detailed lists!

My first commercial aviation flights were ~1946 on American Airlines DC-3s MEX-MTY-SAT and MEX-MTY-ELP-TUS <RON> TUS-PHX-LAX. And return, of course.

My last DC-3 ride was OAX-SCX return on Aerovías Oaxaqueńas DC-3 / C-47 XA-JIH (msn 9904) in, iirc,1992.

My experience with the ATR was that it was unstable in wind shear type conditions. Also witness its recent crash circumstances.

Used to fly it multiple times weekly....Was not a simple winter issue.

Hello to the other old ones.

havaiisteve

First flight 1952. LAX to Pekanbaru via Honolulu, Wake or Midway?, Guam, Tokyo, Singapore, Jakata. Aircraft? Mostly DC5?. Last leg was a DC3 still configured as a CH 47. 13 hours LAX to HNL. Other aircraft flown, DC3, DC6, Electra, Comet, 707, 747, 727, and perhaps MAX??

moondog

Was there ever a DC5?

diburning

Yes. It was introduced in 1940, and were all gone by 1949 because only 5 aircraft were built, all for KLM.

GW McLintock

I just want to clarify, people don't actually think the 787 and A350 (among others) are obsolete... do they?

-J.

TheFlyingDoctor

I feel there's a difference between "last time I flew a plane which is now obsolete, but was in regular use then", and "my last flight on this was when it was essentially obsolete" (both are interesting!). I haven't been flying long enough to have any of the former (although I'm up to my third obsolete airline now Flybe's done), but I can offer something in the spirit of the latter. October 2017, I made it onto the final KLM Fokker 70 flight, which I wrote up as a trip report. I guess the A318 is fairly niche, too, which I flew in BA's all-business config back in 2015.
