From the early 1980s up to date:
Commercially
* Boeing 747-200 & 300 (Lufthansa)
* Boeing 727-200 (Lufthansa)
* Lockheed L1011 TriStar (LTU)
* McDonnell Douglas MD-11 (LTU)
* Airbus A310-300 (Hapag Lloyd)
Privately
* Cessna 172
* Piper PA 28 A
* Antonov AN2
The most amazing airplanes to me were the L1011 TriStar / MD-11 and especially the Antonov AN2. The Antonov AN2 was the only airplane that gave me a certain feeling of what really can be called "to fly" (I guess because it is able to lift off already at ~40 knots). It was exactly that airplane (operated by the local airport of my home town):
I've flown with it once, and I'll definately do it again (it's only 65 Euro and it flies even above my house). The day I've flown with it they had to change the comm radio before, because the previous one had blown :lol: No, I'm not scared to fly with anything. I'd like to die in a great airplane rather than in road traffic or in my bed
Just watch the engine start procedure and its amazing sound:
