Is n772sw the plane that had engine failure a couple of months ago?

I’ve flown Air Seychelles’ Twin Otter a couple of times - they have awesome liveries. I’ve flown bmi regional’s embraer jet (which is a fairly unusual sight over here in the UK) and I’ve also flown on Royal Jordanian’s A310 from Colombo to Amman, which is without doubt the single worst flight I’ve ever had.

A320neo, if it even counts :(

28

If its the first A320Neo in an airline, it counts :)

29

For me the most special would probably be SIA’s B78X, I flew on it on its third day of crew training flights

30

Probably doesn’t count but it’s the only one I have. N69810 or something, United 739 involved in a near miss with a GA over Chicago in November I think, flew it a month later.

31

I think Lufthansa was gonna buy Alitalia

32

But at least its the A310… which is the rarest airbus bird…

33

Perhaps - but after the terrible experience I’d rather take a much newer plane. When boarding we were told that the air con wasn’t working on the plane, obviously no entertainment or food service for the 7 hour flight, extremely rude crew and seats that couldn’t recline properly. The thing is, I was flying CMB-AMM-LHR on RJ, and the second leg was on an A321 and it was excellent.

34

I guess that flight must be very special :p

35

I think they changed their mind

  1. One of the last Delta 744 flights with N639US
  2. China Eastern’s 2010 agriculture expo A330
  3. China Eastern’s B-2025 that got into an accident at JFK where it clipped the wings with a Lufthansa plane.

Based on planespotters.net, N639US was a B747-200F… are you the pilot of the last flight of that plane?

39

Okay, probably got the registration wrong, stand by.

N669US, that’s it, N669US

42

I was on N777UA the first 777 to enter service. It was a 777-200 operated by United. Flew it from LAX-EWR, seat 2K. It was an awesome flight. 2nd time being in a 777.

43

Omg I saw that plane at Tokyo! We parked next to it! It’s my favorite 747!

44

I haven´t flought a lot in my live, so I´ll go with the KLM 747-400 (PH-BFV) from Toronto back to Amsterdam. Since they are retiring that is my most special plane I’ve ever been on, maybe it ain’t that special for you guys but mhh for me it kinda is lmao

45

I’ve sat in an A-10 and a GR-4 before. Only in the hangers, if that counts?! 🤔
