Never had the chance to take the controls of a real one yet.  But I'm destined for the Delta Connection Academy sometime in the next couple years ;)

Passenger wise...

Continental B1900...First flight ever from Fort Wayne to Cleveland.

Continental 737-XXX...CLE to Fort Myers, never found out what version.

Northwest 727...FMY-DTW

Northwest Saab 340...DTW-FWA  Never use the little restroom when nearing your destination...Lets just say its not a fun time when your trying to finish up & get back to your seat while taking steep dives then sharp level offs...First your floating on the ceiling and then your crushed to the ground I litteraly was forced to crawl to my seat while i wasnt floating weightlessly...Have to admit though...That was one hell of a fun ride ;D  (Also the only flight I've ever been on where both pilot & co-pilot were women)

TWE BAe - Jetstream 31...FWA-STL------STL-FWA...I remember being about 13, by myself, and heading for North Carolina.  I was a little scared on this flight, sitting at the window and watching rivets rattling ever so freely on the wing and engine :o  Same on the return trip.  Very rough flights :-/  Return also included an aborted takeoff.

TWA DC-9...STL-RDU-----RDU_STL...Still sat at a window both flights & watched the rivets rattle...I found it strange that it took me longer to fly from FWA-STL then it did STL-RDU even double the distance.  Slow prop planes ::)  The way home officialy made me never want to fly TWA ever again.  We took off in the DC-9 bound for STL & didn't seem to be climbing very fast + circling around the Golden Arch.  Shortly the captain made an anouncement there was a problem & we would be returning to the airport.  Unloaded & an hour later boarded another DC-9 and made the flight :-/

(TWA...one airline I'm glad to see gone :-X )

Northwest CRJ-200 FWA-DTW-----DTW-FWA = Pilot was in a hurry that morning...tookoff from DTW like a rocket, then slammed us into the ground at FWA + full brakes.

Northwest 757-200 DTW-SEA....757-300 SEA-DTW

Piloted myself:
- ASK-21 Glider (very frequently during summer)
- Urbanair Lambada

Pax:
-Airbus A330
-Airbus A340
-Boeing 767
-Boeing 737
-McDonnel Douglas MD-80
-Fokker F27
-Let 410

The Airbus A330-300 I got to ride in the centre cockpit jumpseat. That was a friggin awesome experience, especially the landing at Brussels National. You see so much you wouldnt see otherwise. I really got a feel for the aircrafts' huge turn radius during the taxi!  :) I knew almost all the things that Captain Maes did in the overhead thanks to my A340 Professional addon, it was great.  

The registration was OO-SFN, and it is operated by SN Brussels Airlines.
Ive also flown in the SN Brussels A330s OO-SFO and OO-SFM on multiple occasions.  :)

And im 16 years old and dont think anything ive done is amazingly spectactular. Looking forward to when I get my wings!

That wouldn't be Brensecs flight in a Spitfire would it?
