I cheated.... I voted for all of them. Boeing is a major part of aviation. It's roots go back to the early 1900's. All of the Boeing jets mentioned are mile markers for their own reasons.

I voted for the 747. An engineering marvel and a beauty to behold. One aircraft that truly changed the world forever.

I have to admit I'm a bit upset there were no Airbus options - the A330-200 is the World's best looking pax aircraft right now. Tongue

As no one mentioned it, I think the 717's pretty nifty and a great regional airliner. Roll Eyes

Yeah, that is very cool. I used to live about 2 miles from O'hare. I saw some of those big fat 772's fly over. as well as Sun Country Air DC-10's.

In the Sim it's definitely the 737...in real life I love the comfort of the 777 (especially when I'm in those full-out beds in business class zooming across the Atlantic!)

Well,I am a big fan of the 737-2xx series...I like the engine design(I don't think there are major differences apart from that with the other 737...).I am a bit confused-the MDs and DCs are from McDonnell Douglas ,right?Does Boeing construct any of them though? ??? ???

Stingray. MD was bought by boeing, for a while they took over the building of some of MD's planes, the DC10 was converted into the MD10 given a new glass cockpit mainly for the freight companys. a few more MD88's were built and the MD11 was finished off.
