    I knew i was forgetting something when i posted the original topic:o i forgot the smaller ones like C152 R2160 and the aul reliable Warrior, flown twice on a chopper dont know the make though.
    Who remembers the old DC8 that Aer Turas used as a freighter flying out of Dub,I loved when i was working out of STN as there was so much different aircraft rather than the normal B737/A320 etc.

    Good guess but as an ancient dinosaur, actually no, C172 for both CPL and IR believe it or not. No need for complex types back in the last century when I were a lad:D. The Duchess was just for the Multi rating.

    Need to update one I'd forgotten and I see it's unique so far until Stovepipe turns up. He must have an interesting list which will cover the likes of the Fouga Magister and DH Dragon.

    Alouette III, number 211. The only aircraft I carried a rifle on board.

    No 747, yet!;) 717 was with Spanair and the E-190 was with BA CityFlyer, the types operating into/out of Ireland are, for the most part, boring! Nearly all 737 and A320


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,005 ✭✭✭✭scudzilla


    Can't remember, as i've only travelled in Europe, from the top of my head

    B737 (Many types)
    A320,
    A310
    MD10 (i think)
    Chipmunk (10 TIMES :D:D)
    Bulldog (twice)

    Growing up in Wales, when i was 11 i joined the ATC, Air Training Corps, basically like the army cadets/scouts but centred around the RAF.

    4 times a year we went to R.A.F. Woodvale for flying, we had a 30-35 min flight each and it was soooo fcukin cool.
    After 10 mins or so you'd ask the instructor if ya could do some aerobatics, he'd then launch into loop the loops, stall turns, barrel rolls etc, all for free, paid for by the MOD :D:D

    The Bulldog's i flew when we went to RAF Waddington for summer camp, side by side seats, and the instructors didn't realy do the aerobatics.

    Once year, and this was stopped after for reasons unknown, the cadet of the year won a flight in a Hawk at RAF Valley, the wanker that won it was such an arse licker

    Maybe you might get a chance to get on the Euro Atlantic a/c next year.It will take a little investigating but as far as i know they put it to use when the 767s are in for checks.
