Your favorite passenger aircraft!

[Cosmic Penguin]

I don't know how many of you guys have flown before, but I'd love to see what passenger aircraft (I've decided to include private aircraft too) you guys like.

First my vote:

The Queen of the skies. 'nuf said huh? :thumbup:

 

[TMac3000]

Only flown twice (to Boston and back), on what I'm pretty sure was a 737, so I can't say much. Love the Concorde though

 

[PhantomCruiser]

I've flown many times. So much so that (to me) a wide-body is a wide-body.

I agree with TMac, the Concorde was such a pretty little thing to see. Saw those many time at Washington/Dulles.

For private/charter aviation, I'm really in love with the Starship, she's pretty.

 

[yagni01]

Totally agree about the Starship. For "Queen of the Skies", I nominate the Lockheed Constellation (although I have never flown in one)

I did love flying in an L-1011 (a long time ago)

Boeing 737 and Cessna 172. Had great flights with both of them. The Dash 8 is also quite great.

BTW, wikipedia images also have smaller versions.
It was a pain to load this thread with that huge 747 .

Favorite Wide Body : Airbus A380 (of course ). 2nd: Boeing 787

Favorite Narrow Body: Airbus A320. 2nd: McDonnell Douglas DC-9

Favorite Private Jet: LearJet 85 (even though it isnt in production yet).

Maybe we could derail it slightly into 'Favourite Aircraft'?

It doesn't get any better than that.

 

[Codz]

Mine is either the 737-800 or the 757-400. Flown on both and they are awesome.

I had the opportunity to buy an EZ a few years a go, but it was not air worthy at the time.

A truly beautiful aircraft, its a pitty that it was built at the outbreak of WW2

 

[Urwumpe]

Since I have never flown at all, my favorite airliner is:

 

[Pablo49]

I've only flown a couple times, and I can't even remember what I flew on. Too young to have ever flown on one of these, but I think they are so ridiculously gorgeous: the De Havilland Comet 4. And I also love the Dan-Air livery. About 90% of my flights in FSX are on one of these.

Was a passenger twice on this bird :

 

[Star Voyager]

The Queen of the Skies is the 747. Period.


but to the topic, my favorite aircraft is probably the 777. However the 767 still holds a special place in my heart.

For non-wide body aircraft, the 737.

For private, the G650 is a pretty epic aircraft.

Concord never did it for me. Steam gauges....nah.

The Dreamliner is a beautiful aircraft. Once that thing gets the kinks ironed out, that may become my new favorite.

 

[Felipi1205]

Should I say something? You can see the 747 Boeing Dreamlifter in the parking area...

 

[Mojave]

I like the boeing 737-800.

 

[MaverickSawyer]

I'm going to have to say the Piaggio Avanti, the Italian Starship:

 

[Jarvitä]

I've only ever flown on the B737, A320 and A340. They were about the same level of cramped and noisy, so no clear preference here.

I see a Concorde in the upper right...

I'm a fan of the Tu-154. The klunky "adequacy" of Soviet aerospace appeals to me and the Tu-154 speaks brilliantly along those lines in ways its contemporary 727 doesn't.
