2. C-172
3. C-180-C185
4. C-206
5. C-207
6. C-208
7. C-210
8. Beech Sport B-19
9. DHC-2 Beaver
10. DHC-3 Otter (piston and turbine)
11. P-3 Orion (USN)
12.A-4 Skyhawk (USN)
13. T-2 Buckeye (USN)
14.1949 Piper Stinson

Sure many out there have more experience than I. I'm having fun keeping planes in the air.

I guess the P-3 Orion, A-4 Skyhawk, and DHC-3 Otter are my favorites.

Is anyone really a master of any specific airframe today (an active employee in a competitive market)? It doesn't sound too economical to me.

With that being said, I did watch a video on YT of someone apart of the ABS go through an A36 with an expert's eye. I learned a ton. However, I don't think it was his primary source of income for his family. It seemed to have been something he picked up over the years.
 
Is this a contest of who can list the most aircraft ?

Absolutely true. The only ones I could even come close to calling myself a "Master" of are the Champ and Luscombe because I own them but I still rely on the owners clubs and people who know more about them than I do.

As for the big iron, you'd be a fool to call yourself a Master of any of those. For one thing there are practically no two of them that are configured alike. You'd better have a time stamped controlled document in hand before you even go out and touch one.

No it's not a contest Tom. I just saw the thread and have a database on my computer so it was easy to compile the list. I didn't realize it was that long myself. All you have to do is work on airplanes and get old I guess.

I'm wondering if a guy is old enough to have worked on them all, if he's too old to remember them. ?

And I have worked on aircraft on the following continents:

North America - USA (13 different states)
South America - Bolivia
Europe - Spain
Asia - South Korea
Africa - Algeria
Oceania/Australasia - New Zealand (If you consider Oceania to be a broader continent that includes Australia, New Zealand and some others; some people do, some don't)

That just leaves Antarctica but I doubt if I will ever do it.

Big whoop, right?

Looking back at the list, I've flown most of these too. I'm really surprised that I've worked on this many different types considering that I only started working as a mechanic 4 years ago.

Man, I'm getting old!
