Interesting post. I had never really thought about it, but thought I'd chime in.

Our military:
P3C (got a little over 5,000 hours on this one)
H3 (several hours on this one, but not sure how many...I lost my logbook)
H46
H53
C130
C141
C2 (C.O.D.)
C12(not positively sure, but think I rode on this one once)
DC9
DC3 (flew on this one into AUTEC, Bahamas back in the 80's)

Foreign Military:
MR2 (did an airshow in Lann Bihoue, France back in the early 90's, got a guest ride with our British friends).

I don't know all the civilian models I've flown on...never paid much attention, but I'm sure several from your list are applicable.

Also, I could have sworn that I rode a Huey once, but for the life of me can't remember where it was. ???

Now I remember...I did fly in a Huey once. It's what fished me up out of the bay at Naval Aircrewman Candidate School (NACCS) in Pensacola. How could I have forgotten that?!

We had a Huey when I was stationed at was once the Naval Coastal Systems Lab in Panama City Florida... had alot of fun flying around Panama City Beach... It was a single engine NUH-1E... still remember the side number 151268.

Mark,
How did you get so lucky as to be stationed there? That's the best kept secret the Navy has. I tried for 20 years to get stationed there, no joy:mad:
However, I spent most of my time in Jax, some in P-cola, so I can't complain.

I have a buddy at the dive school in PC right now. He's in charge of something there, not sure what. He recently told me they are in the process of building the largest pool in the US there right now. I'm not sure of the details and it's a long way from completion.

You are lucky!

Ps. I did a search for your BuNo. I found it here: US Navy and US Marine Corps BuNos--Third Series (150139 to 156169)
Go to the page, then hit the control button on your 'puter and "f" key at the same time. enter the BuNO 151268 in the search line and hit enter. You'll see that that Huey you flew on is now at the Naval Air Museum in Pcola...pretty cool huh?

First duty station as a airman recruit! Lack of PCS funds keep me there even longer!
