I'm with you, Jim, these turbine guys don't appreciate true beauty on the
wing.

To me, it makes no difference which type of aircraft I fly on as long as
it gets me where I am going safety and reasonably on time.

I love it when I get the odd chance to fly a triple-seven. Looking
WAY down at those huge engines and that giant fuselage. It's an
impressive plane.

Seconded! I was a bit surprised that no one else had mentioned
the 777 yet; I love 'em. Big, roomy, quiet, one of the best
overhead bin designs ever, and the majority of 'em I've been on
had the personal video screens in the seatbacks in coach.
First or business in a 777 is wonderful.

Tri Stars. (commonly referred to as "try to starts")

Those Rolls RB211's were a little finicky in high/dry conditions like
SLC. Sometime they'd need a "jump start".

The L1011 airframe was built like a tank.

I was also fond of MD-11's. (especially in first class)

G-BOAF, which has since been retired at Filton. :-(

I was spoilt, because the first airliner I flew on was a spanking new United
777, on its maiden commercial flight. Clean, spacious (it was a new flight
recently added to the schedule so there were only about 50 of us on it!),
the entertainment system worked properly, etc. Hugely powerful, too. I've
flown on various airliners since (737, 747, 757, 767 and more 777s, plus
various Airbuses, DC-10s, and so on) and I prefer the 777 out of all of
them.

Boeing 777, but I am biased. I worked as an engineer on the AIMS
Display System for the flight deck.

As a planespotter - 747-400, 757-200, everything else.

As a passenger - 777. (i get my first ride on an A330-300 in 2 weeks
so can't say anything about it yet.)
