What is you favorite Boeing plane?

[Yesthatsme]

I have to say the 777.

[Maestro69]

Now, my vote goes to the B747.

There is nothing that will match the B747. I have flowned on the B747-200/300/400 and its a great aircraft to fly on and its the one i have flown most on, due to been in Australia. :cool:

[Yesthatsme]

yeah i like the 747 But the 777 beats it in many catogory's

[piercey]

Man, unlike Airbus, it's a hard decision between the 747 and the 777. I'm going to say the 747 because no other plane will ever catch the lore, comfort, and status of the 747, not even the A380.

[Coeurlion]

Cant say that without flying the A380. Though 747 is legendary, and unique in looks I would say the 777 is better,due to the fact that its has the range and its easier to load. I advantage which the 747 does have is cargo. Airlines love the cargo capacity of the 747, because they make a large amount of money on passeger trips. Thats why companiesloved the DC-10. Unfortunately the MD-11 was smaller and the L-1011 is a gas gusler. Anyways thats my 2 cents.

Nothing beats the RNZAFs 757s.

[Maestro69]

Well, wasnt that an anti-climax Simpleboy??

[Simpleboy]

Only cause of Boeing giving me both at once.

[AirKevin]

I'd say 747. I would normally have said 777, but my last American Airlines flights has had me rethink that.

[StephenM]

Never flown on the 757's but in my opinion they are the best looking of the lot of them!

[airline55]

747 no question, Even though I have never flown on one. Btw, what is going on with the ADV, do we have a launch airline yet?

If any launch airline, then it's either CX or JA, but it hasn't been officaly launched yet.

[Yesthatsme]

yeah i think JA

[rocksandfossils]

There are too many people on the 747 and the seats are cramped. (It sucks to sit next to someone who has a cold!) 777's are generally newer and have wider seats.

[Yesthatsme]

it looks like 777 might win

what about the 737's?

[Maestro69]

The only B737 i have been on was on a KLM B737-400 in the early 90's, painted in a all white livery with KLM logo on the tail. Never been on a Qantas or Virgin B737!!!

I hardly fly within Australia. Dont know why. I have been to Melbourne as a kid, but went by car, which was a nice enjoyable drive down the southern coast heading to Melbourne.

[dyson_151_15]

yes... Been on Qantas, (really good 738's) Virgin/Pacfic Blue (good 737's & 738's) & from memory Ansett (yes, once on a 733/734)

[flyhegs]

I think the B744 and the B735 would take my vote . I don't know what u like about the 777 ? The only 777 that maybe is nice is the longer -300 and 300ER . And what the ......... Do u like about the 757 . Is there anything i missed ?
