What is your favorite aircraft?

Choose from these!

Sorry I had to narrow it down a lot. I tried to only add aircraft currently in use. I know that for example the B757, 767 and 777 are really different but I just had to decide to put them in one option. If you don't know what these look like, try browsing Airliners.net

Please add your favorite aircraft here if it is not listed above!

I like the spacious 747 though it can take a long time until all passengers are on board. But they cannot land on the small Hamburg airport :( .

Despite 747, these guppies are sometimes visible over Hamburg because parts of the Airbusses are made here.

I like the 747, as the business class is on the second floor, and it can be more relaxing. I also like the Airbus A340 with its new business class on most airlines.

I prefer a small airplane. You can realy feel the acceleration when it's getting into the air 8O :D ... whohoo ... !
I've been flying with such airplane twice, once in Iceland, once in New Zealand.

You've got to get to fly in a small plane like a Cessna or Piper. The experience is somewhat different than in a commercial jet! :D I've been in a Cessna when I was about nine years old, that was fun I guess, can't remember that much anymore. I just remember seeing my parents' house from above. :wink:

My two favorite airplanes are the Boeing 767 and the Boeing 777.
And those two are mentioned together in the poll. :)

I like a nice neatly fold airplane (out of an A4 piece of paper).
It must move silently through my study and its main goal is to impress my son of 2.

His expression will be the number one price.
