Worlds largest Jetliner

[FIREWALL]

Am watching live the landing of the A380 Airbus. Historic landing.Biggest
passenger plane to land at Los Angelos International Airport. Good God
that plane is BIG.

Yeah - I saw it as it overflew the Boeing hangers a while back (last summer?) - it is a pretty big plane. One thing I did notice though when it flew by - it does not have a distinctive shape like a 747. In some respects, it could be mistaken for a smaller plane from a distance.

I live on the Eastside, but as I type this, I could walk to very hangers in about 10 min. That is how far away from them I am right now.

This is so KOOL. My dad still lives in Edmonds. This is makeing me kinda homesick. :cry: I think i'll give him a call.

God, I hate the -380. Ugly, too big, and crowded. I don't think the US airlines need to use it.



Besides, you simply cannot compete with the 747-300/400/SP:rock: . Airbus is now feeling the ill effects of building something that is in such low demand right now.



If I were to list the top ten modern (post 1960's) commercial aircraft, this is what I would choose:


1. Boeing 747-300/400
2. Boeing 767-200/200ER/300/300ER
3. Airbus A320/321
4. Boeing 737-300/400/500
5. Airbus A340-300/600
6. Boeing 757-200
7. Airbus A300
8. Boeing 777-200/200ER/200LR/300/300ER
9. Sud Aviation Caravelle
10. Douglas DC-9/McDonnald-Douglas MD-80 series/Boeing 717 (They are all the same airplane)


Now if I were to list my ten most favorite post 1960's commercial aircraft, they would be:

1. Boeing 737-400/500
2. Boeing 767-300ER
3. Boeing 747-400
4. Airbus A340-600
5. Airbus A300
6. Boeing 757-300 Winglets
7. Boeing 737-700
8. McDonnald-Douglas MD-11/Douglas DC-10 (Same Aircraft)
9. Airbus A319
10. Boeing 717/MD-80 series/DC-9

:up:

Looks like you need to fly on a 777. Best airplane flying right now. Best comfort. You name it, it has it. Everyone I have ever flown comes with personal video screens and personal GPS units, etc. Good leg room. Big windows. THis all seems to be across all airlines too.

I suspect the 787 will be even better!

Those are my final picks. The first list was just what I thought was the best airliners over the years, based on a more general explination. I was not talking just about passenger comfort, and I'm sure the triple seven is best in that class. What I'm talking about is more of a personal, 'inside' preference. Things like looks, what the cockpit looks like, seating, performance, sounds, service, and 'power.'

'Power' is something I cannot describe you, it's just a feeling that you get when looking at the aircraft. Must be from my love of flying or something.

Anyway, if you post a picture of a modern commercial jet liner (Besides the Russian ones, I always get confused with them), then I can identify it. Try me.;)

Not very modern, but it's the DeHavilland Comet.:)

Too easy.:|\\

OK...Two fairly easy ones:

[ASWnut101]

Bottom: Boeing 707 Jetliner

Top: Dornier 328JET (used to be 328-300)

[JSLTIGER]

WRONG (about the bottom one, and don't cheat by changing your post)! Look again.

And that was the easier one.

[ASWnut101]

I know, I know, it's a DC-8. Was going through the thread fast.


So,

Top: Dornier 328JET
Bottom: DC-8

Thank you, try again!

[waste gate]

hell, its a DC-8.

[JSLTIGER]

Now you're spot on.

[SUBMAN1]

Not bad! K - let me think. I stump you yet.

[JSLTIGER]

A slightly harder one:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e1/Embraer_195_flybe_01.jpg/800px-Embraer_195_flybe_01.jpg

[ASWnut101]

Embraer EMB-195.


Oh, and you might want to start uploading through something like photobucket or imageshack after a quick check of the properties.;)


Here's an easy one:

[waste gate]

A-319

Correction: A-318/111

[SUBMAN1]

Got one:

Nope. Close.:D


Subman, it's just like the one before:

Your correction is correct!

[SUBMAN1]

A-319

Subman, it's just like the one before:

EMB-195:cool:

Yeah yeah - k. You know pretty well whats up. There is one you will have problems with though. Give me a sec to find pics.

If you give us the N-number (tail number) it will be very easy.

[Sailor Steve]

Favorite airliners?

Ford 4AT
Boeing Monomail
Boeing 247
Boeing 307
Boeing Stratocruiser
Lockheed 749/1049 Constellation
Douglas DC-3
Douglas DC-6
Convair 440

Jets? Forget it; no class. Well, maybe the Comet.

Oh, just so you know: I've ridden in ever single one of those, except the Boeing Monomail.

[ASWnut101]

Nice choices, Steve!

Fokker 100

[SUBMAN1]

THis one is probably easy :

[SUBMAN1]

Nice choices, Steve!


Try this anyone:

http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w142/ASWnut/1189239.jpg Fokker 100

I miss Fokker jets. The best thing about the were the speed. I always loved it when I got on a Fokker over an MD-80. The Fokker has about .1 to .15 Mach faster crusie speed, and thats pretty significant over a long distance.

Canadair Regional Jet CRJ701ER

What did I say abou tail numbers?

Perhaps we shold crop the photos and ask folks to identify the a/c. It would be more sporting.

[ASWnut101]

THis one is probably easy :

Nice choices, Steve!

Fokker 100

Yep, a Fokker 70/100. Nice Job.

Now please, post one without tail numbers (a quick MS-Paint job).

[SUBMAN1]

THis one is probably easy :

Not bad - but i think you'r elooking them up! :p I guess you earn the prize and can say you know your jets.

PS. Oops! Say right on the side of the plane what it is!!!

What do I win? (Even though I started it!:D)
