Yes indeed ! Music to my ears and even though I lack words, the closest comparison thatsprings to my mind is the sound of a washing machine ! :Nerd:More seriously, the engines do have quite a distinctive sound, pretty high pitched.

I would describe it as a 6 year old girl screaming as loud as she can :) but instead of making you want to stab someone, it makes you warm an fuzzy inside ;)

Who can NOT love the 757. As said, it's like what a woman should be. Long legs and big..........engines.

Well, I love the Queen. The 747 is my favourite little Jumbo! But I have not flown in that many different aircraft yet. I still have yet to fly, for example, in an Airbus A342 or A343 or an A330 series.I can't wait for the new 748 and see how it really is. I just hope airlines try to make the seats a tad bit wider and with a little more leg room in the Tourist class section, because long hauls, even from Eastern North America to Europe (about 6-7 hours) can be very uncomfortable with tight seating.But as for my favourite comfort aircraft, without a doubt, it is the A320. I flew it at least 1-2 times with Air France and talking about plenty of leg room and a decent seat! :(

I love flying my "iddy biddy Jumbo"

I haven't got a clue Dylan. I haven't kept up with the USAF for ages. Growing up though they were still in use, far after there were much faster jets. The F4 was very stable, even with heavy damage, it's manuevering was pretty great also. Amazing how much I forget, when I was younger I could probably list every serial number of every active F-4 in service by heart,,, ok maybe not ALL of them.

Tupolev-154.. One of the fastest passenger subsonic jets ever produced. And there is nothing like the sound of these three Kuznetcov engines...
Yes, I agree with you - :( MD-11 is also up there too. It's great that I have both for FS thanks to PMDG and Project Tupolev :(

Over 10 years here and AVSIM is still my favourite FS site :-)

The US military does use some of the old F4's as UAV's for aerial target practice to test air-to-air and surface-to-air missles.Kevin.

Easily the MD80 series. It looks so fast, like an arrow flying through the air

Not just because I am a flight Attendant on this aircraft all the time. But my favorite would have to be Alaska Airlines 737-900ER (N306AS) I fly on it a lot! LOVE IT!Batting%20Eyelashes.gif
