This is a list of surviving examples of mass-produced aircraft, specifically those that are notable solely or primarily for still existing. To illustrate, the Enola Gay is excluded from this list, but included in List of individual aircraft because it dropped the first atomic bomb .
The scenarios are endless: surviving a roadside blast that strikes your squad, but losing lives for which you felt responsible. Watching as your dead friends are loaded onto helos in body bags.
