November 8, 201015 yr Hmm, mine could be a fairly long list, headed up by Concorde, of course.But if I had to choose just one, in all fairness I guess I'd have to go with my first love — the VC10. Sheer grace!Cheers,Brian
November 8, 201015 yr Commercial Member Thunderbird 2 haha! :DFor me:#1: Concorde#2: MD-80#3: F-16Best regards,Robin.
November 8, 201015 yr Hi guys,For me, the best looking plane is definitely the Boeing 757-200, followed by Boeing B777-200 and Boeing B787-800 Dreamliner.There is something amazing about 757. It sleek body. I especially love 757s in American Airlines' livery with winglets, which make the airplane look bigger.My second favorite is the Triple Seven. Those huge engines... Just amazing.and... the Dreamliner! Amazing airplane. Very elegant body and again... huge engines and wrecked winglets. Beautiful. I can't wait to see the -900 variant, because -800 seems to be a bit too short...The ugliest plane? Definitely the TU-134 and B747SP. Great topic!Cheers, Paul Kawalec Chicago O'Hare Int. Airport . Last flight: 6-11-11 - B737-700 - Southwest Airlines #2139 - KMDW -> KTPA
November 8, 201015 yr Hi Karl,Did you know that the Caravelle borrowed the nose section of the Comet? (That's the only portion of the Comet I liked, by the way but I am partial )BrunoPS : You forgot Concorde ! Shame on you ! :( Hi Bruno,You're quite right and I hang my head in shame :( However it was deliberate for the only reason that Concorde really is in a league of its own and can't really be compared to anything else out there.I had heard in the past that certain design items had been "borrowed" by the French for the Caravelle but never any specifics, now that you've pointed it out it looks kinda obvious. RegardsKarl
November 8, 201015 yr I was going to come here and announce, adamantly, how superior the Boeing 757-200 was in not only the eye-candy department, but every department; But those Boeing 777 screenshots several of you posted make her look amazing, sleek, and almost perfect.B777 gets a +1 this day. Take-offs are optional, landings are mandatory.The only time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire. To make a small fortune in aviation you must start with a large fortune.There's nothing less important than the runway behind you and the altitude above you. It's better to be on the ground wishing you were in the air, than in the air wishing you were on the ground.
November 8, 201015 yr #1 Boeing 757-200 PW. Great legs, beautiful nose and nice bo... I mean engines #2 Airbus A330. #3 Cessna Citation X/MD-11Can't decideUgliest: Airbus 321
November 9, 201015 yr I wonder if Robert is going to put in his opinion. :( I bet it will be the NGX, not the real 737NG series, but the NGX, and maybe a random screeny of it. Or maybe Vic, on Ryan. Who knows. Alexander Brinson
November 9, 201015 yr Tupolev Tu-114 for me. Something about the futuristic jet like fuselage design combined with the classic look of props to me can't be beat. It symbolizes the best of both ages coming together, and is part of the golden age of aviation in my opinion. I have never seen a CV990 before though, but that is also one very nice looking airplane. To answer the original question though not all airplanes all the same. I think some definately have more beauty than others. Can't find a good photo to insert in this thread. To bad pictures of this bird are so rare, and the very few belong to airliners.net. :( Steve Jordan Aviation Structural Mechanic SH-60B/HH-60H/MH-60R/MH-60S USN FSX Hours: 3000 and counting
