As the title said I thaught I would ask what is your Favourite Commercial Airliner

Mine would either be the 737 or 777


(P.S. I might do a few more of these i.e. favourite GA, Military)

Regards, Scott

737-800 is way up there, but 777 just tops it I think :plane:

Also the DC-10 is right up there

All time would have to be Embraer Banderantie and second the 737-300 that's the plane that I'm aiming to fly as a pilot if I do fly for an airline (as well as any of the other 737's)

Probably the 767-300 followed by the 747-400. :)

Dam!!!!!! this ain't easy........to be honest it depends on where the moon is positioned in the sky!!!!!!

At this minute I'd have to go with Dash 8 Q300. But that will have changed by tea time. HAHAHA

(I'm always on the look out for a good Dash 8 Q300 addon for FSX with a good Air New Zealand paint)

The 10 was said to be the best pilots choice for an airliner , for Visibility, ease, layout , and especialy for the flying , reason for the MD11 . I did read an article that the 767 , a ex 10 pilot consider'd them equal . Since i use LD767 and PMDG 747 ..Boeing :thumbup: ,

Look at all the Boeing fans!! :D
My favourite... hmmm... (10 minutes saying "hmmm")

B767-300ER only JUST over all the other lovely Boeings.

Airbus A345 and 319 only just ranking outside the Boeings :lol:

just off the top of my head I would have to go three ways

1st from a pilots perspective - DC10
2nd from a pax perspective - B744
3rd from a controllers perspective - SF340

DC10 - nice to fly, B744 plenty of room, SF340 gets around the airport quickly goes up fast comes down quick and just generally bloody good to deal with ( kudos to all those Saab pilots out there ).
