Of course, if I had to get a private airliner, you can be sure as hell its designation would start and end with 7.

So, no interest in Boeing 720?

It was actually initially marketed as the 717.

And what is KC-135?

Besides, I was raised in the two-crew cockpit age.

So, this leaves the choice of 757 and 777?

720 was originally called the 717 when Boeing was initially pitching it to airlines. When it came to market, it became know as the 720, leaving room for the KC-135 and the MD-95 to be named the 717.

As for the choice of planes, that would also leave me with the MD-80 series, 717 (MD-95),737, 744, or the 767.

Which neither starts nor ends with 7.

737, unlike DC-9, required three crew.
bok269 wrote on Apr 19^th, 2007 at 11:38pm:

744,

Does not end in 7, either.
BTW, remember that 748 is a Hawker-Siddeley plane

or the 767.

Only 757 and 777 have never had flight engineers.

You really are thinking too much about this. No need to pick fault with every point he makes because of one small comment he made earlier. Roll Eyes
