Was waiting to see how long it would take ya Wink

I have to ask though. If this is an "of the year poll" then shouldnt a few of those be excluded as they dont fly anymore.
If this is "of all time" carry on Wink

Love concorde you'll soon find some of us members like to pick at everything, we each have our own little quirks that identify us. Dont take offence to it embrace it as good natured humor and welcome to SimV.

The 727 has my vote, trusty and strong, always there for it's pilots.

Pilot for a major US airline certified in the: EMB-120, CRJ, 727, 737, 757, 767, and A-320 and military, T-38, C-130, C-141, and C-5 along with misc. other small airplanes. Any questions, I'm here for you.

Saratoga, slightly off topic - what's your take on the TriStar? I just have the impression that it was always a popular aircraft with the pilots

Best tanker the RAF's ever had - shame they couldn't put hoses on the wings - means you can only refuel one aircraft at a time...

Makes you wonder - would it have been more successful if it had been designed by Boeing or MD or a company of that stature...

Well the Tristar...never flew it. I've flown on them and talked to pilots, and from what I hear they are good airplanes. Pilots say they fly a little heavier than the DC-10, slower on the controls and a little weaker, but good for it's job.

I've flown quite a flew flights on them, and hey, they get off the ground. Isn't that what matters?
