Okay, here are all the airliner models I've flown on during my
domestic travels:

Boeing 727 (Mexicana, USAir Shuttle, Delta Shuttle)
Boeing 737 (lots of domestic, plus AirAsia)
Boeing 747 (JAL -400 and -300, Cathay, Qantas both -400)
Boeing 757 (lots of domestic, plus BA intra-europe I think)
Boeing 767 (just AA, I think, both domestic and international, and
both -200
and -300)
Boeing 777 (AA international, United domestic, JAL medium-haul in-Asia,
Cathay shorthaul in-Asia)

Airbus A300 (AA trans-atlantic, only once)
Airbus A320 (NWA, UA, BA in-europe, Tiger)
Airbus A330 (Cathay shorthaul in-asia)
Airbus A340 (Cathay shorthaul in-asia)

Embrair Brasilia (UA shorthaul)
Embrair ERJ (American Eagle)
CRJ (Horizon, American Eagle)
Fokker 100 (AA, only once)

Shortest flights: ORD to MKE, I think (66 mi/40 min)
Longest flight by distance: LAX to SYD, 7500 mi/14hr 30min
Longest flight by time: LAX to HKG, 7200 mi/15hr 25min

Airlines flown internationally: AA, Cathay, JAL (also as AA codeshare, +
JALWAYS), British, Qantas (only as AA codeshare), Thai (also as JL
codeshare), Mexicana, Aeromexico, Tiger, AirAsia

Airlines flown domestically: AA (+Eagle), United (+Express), NWA, Delta,
Continental, America West, Alaska (although only as an AA codeshare),
Horizon), TWA (both before and after AA buyout), Usair (+shuttle)

Airlines I'm sad not to have flown: PanAm (too late now), Midwest
Airlines I'm glad not to have flown: SouthWorst, ATA, Spirit (although I
had
ticket son them when they went under)

Worst flight ever: despite being short, CDG-LHR, seated next to a
belligerent and horrendously tall Australian who was stuck in the middle
seat and determined to take out his physical discomfort on me. F___er
should have been arrested.

Best flight ever: the first time I op-upgraded on CX for my HKG-SFO leg

'em, and would only let 'em out on building leases if you had 'em?" (WSG)

Shortest flight, SFO to OAK.
DC3, BA-111, still probably the most comfortable airplane I rode in.
PAcific Express. DC-3 Trans Texas Airways. ATA, delta, psa, SWA, AA, PAn
Am (longest flight a few times, SFO to Hong Kong) BOAC and lots of others.
Some I do not even remember. Favorite airplane AT-6 Texan. got to do fly
some rolls and loops. Other fun plane DeHavilan Otter.
