A couple of interviews with Captain Eric Brown RN. This guy had a truy remarkable career... he's flown 487 different types (more than any other pilot in history), has 2,407 carrier traps (more than any other pilot), was the first pilot to land a jet on an aircraft carrier, and if it wasn't for the interference of the politicians quite probably would have beaten Chuck Yeager through the sound barrier.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_aircraft_flown_by_Eric_%22Winkle%22_Brown <- This is a list of all the aircraft he has flown. Amazing.





I highly recommend reading his memoirs "Wings On My Sleeve".
