The 6 aircraft I've flown in (or should I say 'flown on' for the trikes? :mrgreen: )

1: R44 helicopter
2: Aquilla 582 (light flight)
3: A22 Foxbat (zucac)
4: Cessna 208
5: Windlass 503
6: Aquilla 582 (Bundy)
7: Sling 2

I loved all of them! But enjoyed the R44 a bit less than the others :mrgreen:

Never flown in a commercial aircraft..

Nice Boet - there are some on your list that I would love to leave in-flight ;)

klein - the Bantam is probably the most difficult aerie to get out of . The way I do it is to sit normally till jump time then turn around carefully on the seat till I'm facing backwards and on my knees. You then keep your back really low so you dont bump it above and squeeze through the triangular gap between the spar, wires and side of the fusalage and exit towards the back . OK if you carefull and not too big ;)
