Plane sailing

I could write more about celibacy and/or why I'll only date Aussie girls - I probably will - but I'd rather change the subject for a while. Since I'm typing this midflight en route to Avalon airport (Victoria) I might instead contemplate all the technological marvels in which I can recall being privileged to fly:

Airbus A320; A330; A340 series
ATR 42; 72
Boeing 727; 737; 747; 757; 767
Bombardier Dash 8-300
Cessna 172
Embraer 170
Fokker 28; 50
McDonnell-Douglas DC10

The above list is not exhaustive. For starters I've flown in two Cessnas and they were different models but cannot remember the number of the other one. One was a seaplane and the other not. There may well be other omissions since I've flown well over 100 times in my life and long since stopped counting!
