What is the best plane type out there that you like [even if it's retired :wink: ]
-
Has to be the Boeing 757-200. I've only ever had the pleasure once and that was PHL-DUB on US Airways. Perfect plane. 8)
Although nothing beats the A330 for its grace and beauty.
-
744... no better flight experience on earth than sitting in 2A or 2K.
-
Airbus A330. Beautiful wings, engines and unparalelled comfort.
-
It depends.....
Differing planes have differing missions....
I would love to see a 752 or a A330 make a landing on a 1800 ft gravel/dirt runway in Alaska.
Perfect plane there is a Twotter....
From SNA, to ORD or DEN its a 752
Short runway, NIMBY restrictions...Need LOTS of thrust quickly.
The perfect plane is one that fits the profile of that particular mission, without having too many restrictions. Sometimes there isn't one.
-
B767-400ER :D
-
A330 all the way
-
777 is the best...
-
B797 is the best :lol: Actually, the A380 is the best plane overall :wink:
-
Technically the 737 is the best... Most successful aircraft ever built
-
Technically the 737 is the best... Most successful aircraft ever built
Actually, it would be the Douglas DC-3 with over 10,000 examples, civilian and military built! :lol:
-
I like the A318 and A345...

How long does the DC-3 to build -like 3 days
737-several months
-
I like the A318 and A345...
Isn't the A318 a little tiny:
I prefer the A319 better
-

I like the A318 because it's tiny. :lol:

Oh...
Well that's wierd... :D
-
The A340-600 is the best in my opinion.
-
787
-
The A350 :lol:

Some people won't be happy but I still stick to the Concorde. Who's really paying attention to fuel economy anyway? Sleek, sexy, fast and there's a picture floating around somewhere with a flock of French Concorde that instantly remind me of swans flying in formation.

Edit2: What is a group of planes called? I used flock because it fits too well when talking about Concorde.
Even more Edit:
Oh or the Ekronoplan:D

Good old Russian MASSIVE crazies.
-
Concorde all the way! I want it back!
-
I love the Q400
And the A318
And the 767-300ER...
-

Yeah, I have to agree. The Q400 is a great plane.
-
Apart from when the gear fail to extend ;)
-
Its like a swan landing on a frozen pond.
-
Ekronoplan!!! So ugly it's gorgeous :D
To fly:
747
md-80-90 love the take off, steep!
IL-76 cargo plane, lousy comfort, amazing take off and landing!
Looks:
747 overall
A380 front, those wings bend very sexy
Sud Est Caravelle
727
Ilyushin IL-62, among the prettiest ever built
A330, slender, sexy, beauty. It's as gorgeus as A340 is ugly (340-600 excluded though)
-

YES!
i have to agree with you
757!

I agree to to all of them but need to add one: RJ85/100. A tiny plane with four powerful engines and leather seats inside. I used to fly once HAM-BRU and that plane had really to fight for reaching the runway on that bumpy ride. I really enjoyed that short hop.
-
I don't really like the look of the A380 (although it must be pleasant to fly on)
-
777 is the best...
Correct, off course the 777 is the best.... Good Range, Good Pax, Good-Looking :lol: .
744 is super comfy.... just miss it
-
I personally prefer Airbus over Boeing, but I'll give props to both.
Best Airbus: A340-500/-600 BY FAR.
Runner-up Bus: A320
Best Boeing: B777-300
Runner-up Bus: B767-300
I hate the 737. Sorry :P
-

On the contrary, I hate the 747 because I find it to be a bleeming cowpacker. It is a glorified freighter in it's own right, the design originally intended for the USAF, but the Lockheed Galaxy won the contract.
-
I like the a320 and 737-200!!!
-
Reims/Cessna 406!
Beech 1900D!
Dash 8-100 is best though :D
These 'tubes' are so boring. Nothing like being in the circuit in Wellington in our 406 doing twice the speed of a Tomahawk doing max-rate turns while holding just for the hell of it! Or Wlg -> Chc at 100ft! Better than a 737 at 30,000ft!

Good old Russian MASSIVE crazies.
A group of planes is called a fleet of planes! :D
-
1. global express
2. b744f rolls royce eng
3. b757-300
-
I'm amazed that nobody has mentioned the E-Jets as they look simply stunning.
The Boeing 777 is also a great jet and having flown on one before that would be my favourite to fly on.
-
I only really like the newer Boeing jets like the 737NG (with winglets of course! :lol:) the 748i, 777 and 787, although I like the A330. IMO the A380 is an ugly flying whale...
The E 170-195 jets are my favourite RJs.
-
For International...
B744, B777, B787
For High Pax Domestic Routes...
B757, A320
Regular Domestic Routes...
A320, A319
Regional...
CRJ700
And i have flown in all i listed, except for the 777 and 787, im hoping to either fly the Qantas A380 from LAX to AU next time me and my family go to visit family, or fly SFO to AKL to get to fly the 777 with Air NZ
-
My fav of all time is the 757-300ER! :o :D (NOOOOO!!!! Iwrote 747!! I meant my beautiful 757 :P)
Such a beautiful plane, closely followed by A340-600, 777-Anything, Tu-154M (I LOVE YOU!), 767-300, 747-400, A321-200, B737-anything, Q400.
-
There's no bigger hell on earth than flying in a CRJ for more than an hour. Please, I'd rather drive.
-
Saab 340 :D

787 or any other Boeing aircraft other than the ugly 757
-
well, obviously your stupid becuase Boeing said that anyone who thinks that the Boeing 757-200/300 is ugly must be stupid!
-
The lady i drive at work .... B737-800 :-*
-
Definately the Boeing 777 :-* :P
Its very unique, i love its shape!
Also, I have to agree, the A380 is just another flying overweight wizzie~ :lol: No offence to pro-airbus people, but it looks muntificated from the front... :P
The 747 shall remain king of the sky! :D

It's a flying brick with wings and a vertical stabiliser :P

That absolutely correct! :lol: :D
-
Does that thing take off or just shuttle passengers around an airport? :P
-

none of that; works at the local cab department and is the local shuttle for the park and ride XD
-
Favourite plane has to be the 777-300ER. Followed by the E-Jets and Airbus A340-600. :)
-
I'm gonna say 737-8AS... mainly because I love the whole "Low cost" feeling of them.
