First piloted: Cessna 172R, N2625C... she was brand new, and had yet to even run the mineral oil through her engine.

Cessna 208B Grand Caravan...Can't remember the Registration, but was similar to this bird:

http://www.airliners.net/open.file/1042803/L/

Out of Khartoum International (HSSS) to El Obeid (HSOB)...Since airspace over that area is empty, I was allowed to take the controls for around half hour...It was fun 8-)

;) ;)
