How to unlock the The Collector achievement in Ace Combat: Assault Horizon - Definitive Guide
Then, load up a mission for each plane type (Fighter/Multirole/Attacker/Bomber). Select a different plane each time.
You do _not_ have to complete the mission - just select a plane, start the mission, then quit out and repeat with the next one.
You will get the MH-60/AH-64D/AC130U via story progression. For the Hind, you must play multiplayer (or a helicopter free mission) and select it. It will register you as having flown it either after the match/mission or after you die and choose a new aircraft.

I left the Hind until last, achievement didn't unlock even though it registered in my stats under Aircraft usage. I then went to free mission > Motherland and was able to select the Hind. Achievement unlocked as soon as the mission started.
You need to beat the game in order for all the planes to unlock. Then you can either select them via free mission, or by online. I advise doing it in online as it’ll help with the 50 hour trophy. Please be aware that you cannot select every plane in normal campaign mode, it can only be done after you beat it either by free mission or online.
Or if you just want the trophy, "You can add that simply going to free mission, starting a mission with a plane, and then immediately quitting still counts as flying it, however it will not add it in the aircraft viewer section" --- Shika
The most common planes that people forget about are the two bombers, the Hind and the PAK-FA.
