I haven't kept track of all the planes I've been on, but here are some interesting outliers:

DC-3 (PrinAir, SJU to US Virgin Islands, 1980)
DeHavilland Twin Otter (SYR to Watertown, NY, 1977)
Whatever helicopter World Airways flew between LGA and JFK in 1977

I was on an AF F-70 (or was it F-80?) just the other day.

All of Delta's aircraft types, except the 777, Delta Shuttle and Song. I was also on a CRJ's operated by ASA and Comair.

I was on Big Sky's Fairchild Metro III. It seated 19 passengers and had no lav or flight attendant (FO did FA speech). It was a fun flight.

Back in 1996, I was on an American Eagle SAAB 340.

Oh, almost forgot, I had a tour of a Korean Air 747 once. Since I never flew on the aircraft, I guess that does not count.

MD 80
737
Some sort of 747
MD11
767
Various wide bodied airbuses (with Virgin, SN Brussel, Emirates and AF)
Avro something (146 I think)
Fokker 50
Fokker 70
Fokker 100 (been flying far too much KLM this year)
Several of thse neat little Embraers with high cruising altitude
Some sort of Canadair regional jet
Dash 8.

Note: The Fokkers seem to come in for a lot of bad press round here and I very much disagree with this. The ones I've been on (especially the 70 and 100) have had very generous leg room especially compared to some of the larger 737s I've had the pleasure of flying with. As a somewhat overweight person I can honestly say that I really appreciate not being disemboweled when the person in front of me reclines while I'm eating.

HEY! There's absolutely nothing wrong with the AN-24! It's a fine aircraft that has been around for 44 years.

And I have to say that in the latest configuration that I flew, which was an AeroSvit flight operated by ARP-410 airlines (the English version of the link isn't terribly informative, and the other verison requires that you, well, read Russian), it had more legroom and seat comfort than your typical DL B767.
