What is the weirdest airplane you've flown
Mine was a Flying Boxcar of the Belgian airforce . It was my first flight ever in the late 1960 s . Very noisy , very uncomfortable seats , a few little windows , but it was unforgettable and we enjoyed it .I was a young aircadet at the time and we had the opportunity to fly with.


Re: What is the most weird airplane you've flown
Nice topic that you opened, galaxy.
I had a similar experience, but with a Belgian Air Force Alouette II helicopter. I was acting as an artillery observer over the training field of Suippe in France, a former battle field of WWI.
The pilot wanted to show his skills and he flew in the same way as the helicopters of the movie "Apocalypse now". I did the flight twice, and during the first one I was almost sick, but the second one was very exciting as I felt much better.

Also C-119, DC-3 'weird' because it's a tailwheel airliner & SeaKing (twice), completing the series of the very noise, shaky ones, and Zeppelin NT as the very smooth one and you can stick your head outside
and with cabin crew

And looking back, this was maybe the weirdest ... @SteyningBowl late seventies

I lived in Zaire from 88 till 2001 and I took some nice planes.

It must be this one: A Cessna A185E Skywagon Seaplane that I flew from the lake in Inari to the river in Ivalo...

Probably a TU104 a loooong time ago. As Coluche would have said, the engines were quite audible!

A Grumman G-21A Goose of Coastal Pacific Airlines round trip from Port Hardy ( Vancouver Island ) BC Canada in September 2009 with several water landings ( and take-off's of course ) and all this in a cockpit seat ! Apart from delivering urgent material to remote and by land unaccessible areas we dropped off a nurse and picked up an indian chief along the way ! An unforgettable and awesome experience !

No, it was a joy flight :p
The sound was amazing it's like a ride with the tube but outside the train.
