Centurian, once. Saratoga (RG and straight) several times.

Does it count if I sat in the back of a 747 and made engine noises?

I have piloted the Concorde, 747, 737, King Air and others... as long as
Flight Sim 2004 counts... :)

Took the controls of a 152 in mid flight for a couple of minutes once
though...

I'll add the G Model, when it was old, and the B-1 as "largest"

I've flown the Space Shuttle. I've logged over 200 aircraft carrier
night-time traps in it. It exhibits good phugoid characteristics. I used to
fly the Space Shuttle to Ethiopia on humanitarian missions. I was shuttle
commander, pilot, and mission doctor at the same time!

Dudley, what's more fun and exciting than stalling a Breezy?

I gotta tell ya John; I was at an EAA flyin and was offered a flight in
that thing. My wife took one look at it and REALLY didn't want me to do
it. I couldn't resist it though and accepted the kind offer. Man, was
THAT an experience!! By the time I rotated I was wondering just what the
hell I had in mind when I decided to do it!! :-) But after I got used to
sitting out in space on a deck chair with the wind blowing up my butt at
pattern altitude, the rest was a "breeze" so to speak. I actually did
some stalls. (standard procedure before landing a strange beast like
that). They were "kinda cute" :-)))

Is the Breezy an ultralight?

I'm not quite sure how it would be classified these days with all the
reg changes going on. In those days it was experimental. It was however
heavier than an ultralight.

No, but close to it, in ideals. Verrry open, as it is a truss frame with a
wing, tail, engine, seat and wheels bolted to it. See
http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/kitspages/breezy.php

There is an ultralight version called lil' breezy.

No 747s...

Biggest (and baddest...) I've flown is a North American T6 "Texan."

Which reminds me, I've been meaning to ask::

Can I retroactively log a "Walter Mitty" aerobatic flight with an outfit
called North American Top Gun as dual instruction? It was a Christmas gift
from my wife about three years ago...

this!!

If your pilot on that flight was a CFI and you can get them to sign the
flight off for you, I see nothing here that would cause the FAA to come
confiscate your dog and cat. :-)

Then whatever you do....don't EVER let the FAA near those cats!!! Most
professionals in aviation believe that making cats disappear might be
what the FAA actually does ...at least this is the closest thing to what
they actually do that most of us who have worked with them closely for
years can come up with anyway :-))

at all!! :-)))

Boeing 767-300ER.





Okay, it was a simulator at United's training center in Denver. I landed it
at London Heathrow.

The biggest real plane I have flown is a Cessna 421.

I have flown the Boeing 747 simulator and the 777 simulator when I worked
for Boeing.
