This will be interesting. What aircraft (narrow body mainline) do you fly on the most? E-Jets are omitted since they "swing both ways" so to speak. Survey is based on US Domestic Travel, and aircraft currently in operation on US Airlines.

I'm missing a couple of flights from the early 90s, and a handful before 1986, but this is what I have. I'm including 11 qualifying flights (DC9, 732, 321) between the US and Central Canada (Quebec/Ontario), most of them on the EWR-YUL sector.
DC-9: 11 (all -30 series)
737 Classic: 11 (2,3,4,5 all represented)
737NG: 7 (all -700)
752: 6
M80: 6 (-82 and -88)
727: 4
320: 4
319: 3
717: 3
DC8: 2
321: 1
Total DC9 family: 20
Total 737 family: 18
Total A320 family: 8
Super 80s followed by the 757. Not thrilled to see more 757s in use on longer flights such as US-Europe and US-Hawaii.
Mine would be the 737's.
A319 and A320, but at least i don't pay for it.
The narrow body I've flown the most on is missing from your list - Boeing 707...
In order (based on memory):
1. B737 (300, 500, 700, 800)- Appx 55 legs
2. MD80 Series- Appx 25 legs
3. B757 (200)- Appx 15 legs
I've always tried to route using different aircraft thru hubs; as an example
in winter '07 I routed STL-ATL-FLL-ATL-STL and picked a flight set that
offered this equipment: CR7-763-757-E170. As I've taken to flying SWA
more often lately, my 737 count has jumped noticeably, whereas my 757
or MadDog count have both atrophied...
Cheers!
Well since i'm young I dont remember many flights but I know I flew whatever company my father was working for at that time (mostly U.S. Airways then jetBlue) Now its whatever airline is cheapest. Here is my count as I remember.
A320: 8
757: 3
A319: 3
MD-83: 1 (most recent flight)
737: Unknown but more then 0
Am now trying to fly more on MD-80's and trying to get a leg on a DC-9 though I like the service I got on my AA flight so thats what i'm mostly going with now AA.
From my flightmemory account:
Aircraft Amount
1 Boeing 757-200 37
2 McDonnell Douglas MD-88 21
3 Airbus A320 11
4 Boeing 767-300ER 10
5 Boeing 737-800 10
6 Boeing 767-200ER 9
7 McDonnell Douglas MD-80 8
8 Boeing 767-300 8
9 Boeing 777-200ER 7

I once blogged about this topic and while my findings show one widebody type, and RJ and GA planes, it was fun figuring this out.

Boeing 737 (various models) 10 (I think!!!!)
McDonnell Douglas MD-80 6 legs
Boeing 767 3 legs

Yea yea I know i'm ranting but I really want some hours in the sky. I'm lacking on alot of these models and I want time. Mainly I just want to see other places as i've only been to West VA, Hawaii, PA, and FL. (PA wasnt flying) I feel so left out :(
