Hi folks...
Here's a light-hearted topic, not to be taken seriously. There is no grand prize, nor will any aircraft be considered the best or the worst. It's just for fun only. I hope I've listed all known tri-jets here whether they'll be commercial or business. All replies welcome. BTW, my fav trijet is the DC-10. Regards.

For me - Lockheed Tristar, without a doubt. Beautiful aircraft, it's just a shame there weren't more of them built. Without the oil crisis in the 70s and the financial problems at Lockheed and Rolls-Royce during development, it could have done so much better.

What about the Trislander? Not a jet I know, and also probably no-ones favourite, but just though I would mention it!
I am with FlytoEGCC on this one. The Tristar was just a beautiful aircraft. Very safe, incredibly advanced for its time. It should have sold better. Damn that pesky DC10!

My favorite would have to be the Dassault Falcon 900. It always has been one of my favorite jets. Plus, you have to like those three holers and when it comes to business jets there aren't to many others to choose from

Nothing like the days of sitting in FC on a Delta Air Lines L1011, with a bloody mary in my hand, listening to classical music, with the roar of the engines on taxi.

1. Any MD11
2. Any DC10
3. Any 727
For some reason, I never really got into the L1011. I think its ugly (especially the snoot). One thing is for sure though.. The L1011 sounds the best during takeoff.
Caution wake turbulence, you are following a heavy jet.

Can you say MD-11? I just love those winglets,trailing edge flaps,the center bogie,and that huge #2 tail mounted powerplant! Simply stunning.

I've ridden the 727 (UA), DC-10 (UA), and L-1011 (DL) all only one time in my life (sigh). My favorite was the L-1011!
34 Dl757md: L-1011 Old DL pilot joke. What does L-1011 stand for? Late 10 out of 11 times. 727 I'm still waiting for somebody with more money than me to do a Ford
35 DeltaRules: L-1011 with the 727 a very close second. Honorable mention goes to the DC-10. DeltaRules
36 ElAlto: 1) Md-11... those winglets!! 2) 727 3) L1011
42 ATCT: Guess im then only G/A person to reply to this post. As a soon to be ATC and while doing that a charter pilot/instructor, I will vote for the Falcon 5
43 BCAL: Whilst the DC10 and Tristar were both excellent aircraft, my favorite by far would be the Hawker Siddeley Trident, backbone of BA's (then BEA) short-h
44 Tristar100: The Tristar without a doubt, I miss the sound of them at Man on the charter flights, the sound of the No2 engine with its distinct "boom" as it starts
45 Jt8: The L1101 has a distinctive charm something about the "s ducting" it was also very sopphisticated for its time,pity more of theses great aircraft wern
46 ConcordeBoy: No question here... the Tritanic is an old fave of mine.
61 L410Turbolet: My vote goes for MD-11 It's so sad to see them disappear slowly, one by one, into the disgrace of desert retirement. Hopefully at least the freighters
62 Eal1011500: Tristar baby... No substitute for the sound of those RR turbos at takeoff!!
