Similar to the airline-thread I wonder on which airplanes people on this board have ever been flying on. I guess there are some people, who lived in the golden area of jet airplanes, with Boeing 707, 727 and DC-8 airplanes which I never managed to fly on. Or even older propeller (piston-engine) powered airplanes.
I do my best to collect as many airplanes as possible to ride on as a passenger.
I can't list of all them as I started flying as a young child and therefore don't know which airplanes I flew on then. But here are some of the ones that I do remember: Boeing 747, 737, 757, 767, 777, Airbus A320/321, Lockheed L-1011, BN-2 Islander, Bombardier Dash 8, CRJ-200, McDonnell Douglas MD-90, Pilatus PC-12.
Of course, I have also been on other non-commercial aircraft (meaning they weren't flying commercially at the time) which include an Antonov-2 (largest single engine biplane), a DC-3 (on a training exercise), various small piston engine planes (Cessnas, etc.), gliders (including motor-gliders), a couple of helicopter rides and even one ride on an ultra-light aircraft.
My dream would have also been a L-1011, Concorde, or 707. I think 727 is still possible in Iran though.
This is my list:

I had one hop on a Tupolev 154, Moscow to St. Pete. Have been on L-1011 many times, Delta flights in the 90's. Many times as well on 727, again Delta flights in the 90's. Have been on most of the mill run common Boeing and Airbus so won't bother to list them. Never got to take a hop on Concorde, right at the end when I knew it was "last chance" - I just really couldn't see spending $15K for an Atlantic crossing. I *may* have been on a 707, as a kid, on Eastern Airlines going to the Bahamas. This would have been early 70's.
The return flight from St. Pete to Moscow was on a smaller jet, sort of a regional jet, Russian made, that had a glass "nose cone" such that the pilot could see what's directly in front of and under the plane. I can't recall the maker but someone will recognize this and post up.

Had the good fortune to fly Concorde on several occasions. Add that to the laundry list of just about every type of plane known to mankind over the past 50 years already listed.
