How many aircraft "Types"?

How many "Types" have you flown?
I think that it depends a little on what is meant by "flown," too. Assuming
"flown" means that you at least got to handle the controls and maybe make a
couple turns (as opposed to just sitting in the pilot's seat for a few
minutes and without requiring a takeoff or landing), then I could say that I
have "flown" a T-37, for example, at least for a little over an hour.
Okay, not all that many types:
Cessna 150, 152, 172, 172RG, 182, 182RG, 206, 208, 337P.
Piper Warrior, Archer, Seminole, Aztec and Seneca II and III.
Cirrus SR-20.
Diamond DA-40.
Grumman Lynx.
Hyperbipe.
Kitfox.
Beechcraft Bonanza.
KingAir C90.
and, of course, the T-37 (another Cessna, come to think of it). And probably
one or two others that I just can't remember at the moment.
Of course, I am not the sort of guy who goes around begging to fly other
peoples' airplanes. Sure, if you let me fly it I will give it a go.
I suppose that if someone claimed to have flown 1000 types then they have the
obligation to list them, eh?
