favourite boeing: 747-300... than he 777 comes

favourite airbus: A330-200

727 - Everything else is boring to me.

Bonanza

Thread should be moved to 'Polls & Prefs', I think...

Anyways, although I consider myself as kind of 'Airbus guy' (b/c of living close to the Airbus plant at XFW), as long as I can think I was and still am very impressed by the 747 (all versions).
Another favourite would be the 727-200... What a great looking aircraft!

I would have to say I have a soft spot for the Boeing 707-138.

Though to fly on, I still enjoy the Boeing 737-838 the most

Trent.

Hi!

My favourite Boeing are actually three. First one because it is the most unique airplane I've seen, it's the 747SP, then it comes the also unique Boeing 720 and finnally because I flew in it the 707-300B/C.
Regards

Quoting LY777 (Thread starter):

Hi There, Nice to meet you.

Mine is the 747 but thats the nostalgic choice. I also like the 777, very modern and sleek looking aircraft.

Rob   

747-400 with RR engines absolutely, nothing compares.

Mischa

Two favourite B a/c's :

- 744
- 777

Alphafloor

777 then the 744. those are some sexy planes!!!!!!

We all know pilot_kaz's favorite...  
Pilot Kaz Caught In Shocking Pose With Boeing (by Gkirk Nov 24 2005 in Non Aviation)


Oh, you mean actual aircraft... I like the 727 as well.

-Sam

Ok, I'll say it:





717




--Dan (I    the MD-95)

I can't belive the 757 doesn't have more of a following. That is an aircraft that, when on the ground, looks like it should be in the air. Overall a very majestic bird. You gotta love the classic 757 full power climb out, feels like a rocket ship man!

The 747 and triple 7 are definitly close second and thirds...

The earliest and still the best:

707

Crjflyer I agree with you that I have a soft spot for the 757.

If I had to narrow it down to just one, well, that's an easy choice. The 747-400.

I love the 744 too.
The sole Boeing model I don't like is the 717

Love the 777-300ER, winglets are amazing on it.
To fly on it has to be the 757, power, and climb, no aircraft will beat that.

The 707 is simply a legend - a milestone of an aircraft whose versatility and durablity as great as its longetivity.

The 727 has an understated elegance, a graceful trijet that is unmistakable for any other aircraft in the world (including the Tu5).

The 737 is has been the backbone of the world's airlines' shorthaul fleet for the last 40 some years and opened up jet service to places that had never had it before. With 4000 or so models flying and a production line still being milked for orders, the 737 commands our respect.

Who can say anything bad about the 747? Without a doubt, she is the queen of the skies. She has brought people closer, opening up air service between cities that previously could not be joined because of their distances. In my mind, there is still NOTHING that can beat a 747 roaring down a runway, taking off and climbing into the sky.

The 757 is equally fantastic. Equally home on an LHR-MAN shuttle flight as it was on a transatlantic hop, its durability is matched only by its versatility. Also worth of mention is the thrill of a 752 takeoff when the thrust is coming from RB211s.

Good old 767. Just about the only aircraft offering the comfort of 2-3-2 in economy. The 767 is a familiar face in an unfamiliar world. Thanks to the 767 we've had air routes between obscure cities that otherwise couldn't support a 747, and to that end, we must thank the 767. In pioneered ETOPS, and its just about the only plane designed in the 1970s that is still reasonably economical today. I love the 767 nose as well.

Well the 777 is a technological marvel that continues to amaze, especially with the -200LR and -3000ER models. It has proven that long range ETOPS is both viable and desirable. Those engines are fantastic as well.

But at the end of the day, I have to agree with:

Quoting Mischadee (Reply 10): 747-400 with RR engines absolutely, nothing compares. Mischa

Particularly BA's 744s. QF, NZ, CX and NZ are no longer purists and have introduced infidel engines into their 744 fleets.

Close second for me would be a 763 with RB211s, followed by any 777, followed by a 752 with RB211s.

Of the ones no longer in production for a long time, I'd kill to fly on a 707 or a 727 again. Perhaps next time there is a chance with Airevents I'll go along.

If you have to take a boeing aircraft its a tie between the 747-400/800 and the 717.

Of course the DC-9 beats any of them hands down.

767-300ER (RR engines)
777-200/300
747-400 and perhaps -800
787 no doubt.
717-200

Quoting Crjflyer35 (Reply 17): I can't belive the 757 doesn't have more of a following. That is an aircraft that, when on the ground, looks like it should be in the air.

In addition, it has that distinctive nose. It has a styling all it's own. And their fantastic to work on. Granted, it's been a few years since, but I still remember that they never broke. Taxiing empty, you have to ride the brakes because she just wants to go like snot on a nice brisk January nightshift.

For me its the B777s, followed by B757.

Well.....

I say the MD-11

but,

I still classify it as a McDD model not boeing so from 'actual' boeings id say:
1st) 747
2nd) 767
3rd) 757
4th) 777
5th) 727
6th) 737
7th) 707
8th) 717 but love MD-90!


Cheers,

IMHO the 747 is the most beautiful machine ever built by man and will always be Queen of the Sky.

Has to be the 757-200.
Great Aircraft.

Not to put too fine a point on it! And, only including models I have flown on.

Mike

umm, tough call.


Either the 777-200 or the 707.


Alasdair

The Dash-80. The one that started it all!
She is the Queen Mother, and her off-spring have all shown a fine pedigree.
What else in her size could do a barrel roll with such grace, so effortlessly?
50 years later, the 707 STILL looks sleek and fast. Once you hit on a perfect design, it never looks too old, much like the 65' Mustang. Still a great design!
Just MHO.  

Boeing 777 all models

The 707, they looked fast just sitting at the gate, and the fact my grandfather was a crewmember on the first flight of the prototype of the 707 doesn't affect my views either.

I think my name says it all really
The 747 is a very close second , and I must admit to a soft spot for the 757 alas no australian carrier ordered them

B 777-300ER is the best looking Boeing plane if you ask me!

There is nothing in the sky that is more majestic than the 747!
