What are your favorite aircrafts?

i really really really really like the McDonnell Douglas DC-10.

Ohhh! That one is nice. It does look cool. I swear it looks exactly like the MD-11, and those are always flying around here. They look really cool with that big engine on the tail. Have you ever seen a DC-10 up close on the ground?

There are some key differences, namely the MD-11 is longer, has winglets, and has a shorter vertical stabilizer. I went on a KLM MD-11 when they used to fly to TNCM here, and I got to go on a USAF KC-10 and RNLAF KDC-10. Also the cockpit between the DC-10 and MD-11 is well... :)

Whaaaaaaat, you got to ride in a KC-10!? That is so cool! Were you in the service? What was it like? 

I talked to someone in the Air Force who rode in a C-130, and he said it was really bumpy and he didn't like it. Haha. But those things look so cool. 

Also, I think it's pretty awesome that you got to see the cockpits of those two planes. I've only seen the cockpits of Cessnas, the R-22 helicopter, and the F-1 Gnat (cute lil fighter jet I got to sit in)

I was a part of the Dutch navy for a brief few months when I turned 18 due to some laws regarding conscription in the Dutch Caribbean. Part of that meant I got to go around and do fun stuff.

THAT IS SIIIIICCCKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is so so cool!!! I can't imagine how awesome that was. Did you pilot or co-pilot, or were you a part of the flight crew?

Just in the jumpseat, lol. I'll try to see if I can find any of my other photos..

I. Am. Salivating. This is so cool!!!! One hell of a plane, one hell of an experience. Whoa, look at all those buttons... But why only 3 months? Did they let you go, or, did something bad happen?

Conscription length is only 9 months here, so that's why.

Ahh I see. Well, it's cool that you got to have those experiences! Also - who is the person standing in front of the plane in one of the images you posted? 

The crew chief of that KC-10

I like the 757 the most or the 777

I really love McDonnell Douglas aircraft, like the MD-11, MD-80, 90 and so on. I also really love the Fokker 50, which I have flown on a lot, which is sadly going away far too soon.

I really like the 747-100!! :D

i think the L-1011 variants a pretty freakin cool! Old enough to never see them in action (unless i get lucky enough to see the stargazer flying), but not old enough to ever experience flying on them, truly bummed out about that ;-;

i do really enjoy the 757 family, i'm a sucker for those rb-211 engines!! my carrier doesn't have them but i often try to work 737-800 and 737 MAX 8 trips if i can. working the 777-200 and -300 when given the opportunity is always great!

this makes me an odd one out but i actually really enjoy the embraer 145! small but more comfortable than the crj-200, large windows, and that plane is a workhorse!! i miss working on them sometimes

To me, any airliner that's built prior to 2000 AND isn't a 737 and an A320 is an instant YES.

I wish I was born earlier, because I like seeing photos of trijets, particularly the L-1011 and DC-10 and 727. The L-1011 in particular as my birthday was 10/11 (silly, I know). Their design is pretty unique. These types served as a transition point between the quadjets and the later twinjets which would soon dominate the skies (and hence make it boring).

I should also throw in anything made by McDonnell Douglas. They're getting rarer by the year. I hope to take a trip to the Pima Air and Space Museum someday.

P.S. The 757 and 767 are the only remaining slightly outstanding 20th-century relics left. I don't think passenger service will continue past 2035.
