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
. 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
