What are your favorite individual planes?
Some of mine:
N586NK - the sole white-schemed Spirit A321.
VP-BDJ - Trump's 727
N663AM - Americna 757 that happened to be in two of my favorite photos that I took.
N550NW - The NW 757 that was clipped by the NW A319 N313NB a couple years ago. Still in service, cool to see every now and then.
Favorite individual planes for me are always those that I have flown on or rather been flown on myself - for example:
N773AS - which provided a memorable flight from SEA to LAX for me - and this picture: http://www.airliners.net/open.file/812830/M/
I-BIKD - cool departure from an airport you don't get to fly into every other day: http://www.airliners.net/open.file/813087/M/
N14735 - which gave me the opportunity to experience the visual circling approach to runway 29 at EWR
or
9M-MKD - where the crew alowed me to stay in the cockpit for a night approach into KUL airport
ZS-SBK - also allowed time in the cockpit on a landing into FACT a few years ago
N214WN - the new Maryland One - she is stunning - can't wait till I get to see her in PBI sometime
G-BOAB/C/D/E/F/G - the really missed aircraft in aviation today!
and...without being fickle
The reg of the Delta 767-300 taking me from KATL to KPBI tonight - it's been a LONG day after leaving KPBI this morning to spend 4 hours in SC closing on a house - so, whatever reg it is....please let it be a good flight!! :)
N709TW- That plane looked so cool with a helmet on, hehe
N93108- A 747 never looked so good, NEVER
N154SY- Just a cool looking DC-10
N902AW- Team work coast to coast.
N349PA- Juan Trippe baby!!!!
N8CA - that's the G-V owned by computer associates and operated out of my home airport, KFRG.
N313FL - the F9 737 i jumpseated on when i flew the the river visual to 13 at LGA in the summer of 2001.
G-CIVX - airplane in which i became a member of the mile high club.
N5241U - airplane i fly the most often at this point in time.
Did this a year ago, and I'd like to add to my list.
N310TZ - The plane I got my first Anet shot with, and my first ATA flight with.
N755NA - My first jumpseat ride.
N510UA - A plane I got a photo of in LA that I was very pleased with....and whenever I see it (it usually cuts me off on the ramp), it reminds me of great times.
F-GITH Air France 747-400, first upper deck ride.
EC-IZY Iberia A340-600, first A340-600 ride.
G-BOAG British Airways Concorde, spent two hours in her on the ground at JFK.
G-VGOA Virgin Atlantic A340-600, aircraft in my favorite picture ever taken.
Can't think of anymore at the moment but I'm sure I will later!
N335RC LR35
N82AX LR25D
N356PM Piper Navajo
N95SG R44
N5PG Proctor and Gambles G550 are all close to my heart.
Why are they close to your heart?
Except for the Gulfstream I have many fond memories with the rest. 95SG is the helicopter that Mel chewed me out because with an instructor I learned that houses are the best target to hover over if you want to date a girl. 5PG is simply because I got to take a spin aboard her on a MX test flight when she was almost fresh from SAV and down in SRQ one day thanks to a good freind who flew with them at the time.
It was actually 2 years ago!Quote:

D-ABON - Probably the girliest plane out there...more than Pink Song.
OK-YAK or OK-MEL - CSA, not because of the actual plane, but because almost all of their regis are funny with the OK at the beginning. The second one sounds like Phil "Ok Mel....whatever."
VP-BDJ - Trump 727
N76DT - Trump S76
92-9000 - VC-25A
N1EB - Rush Limbaugh's Gulfstream
First off, great topic Phil! Something I haven't thought about in a while.
N315DL/N243WA - First and last classic 737-200 flights I took on DL Express
N75AA - Last L-1011 flight I took on Tradewinds Airlines (charter)
N601TW/N604TW - The good old TWA 762's with JT9D's that took me a couple of times between JFK and SJU
N2404A - My first ride on a TWA 717 and a 3 week old airplane
and finally...
N5363B - The C152 I flew on my first flight and continue to fly through my PPL training
F-GSEX! Corsair 747-300
N759AN AA 777 - got to sit up front in the left seat after arriving in LHR from JFK and have my picture taken
N62429 C172 - First solo
I can't believe nobody mentioned VH-OEJ yet...
Not that the airplane itself is special, but I always got a chuckle out of the Citation registered "OY-WET" which was the replacement for Citation "OY-JET" that ended up in the water at Atlantic City.
Haha! That IS funny.
