I am always impressed with how quiet the latest Boeing tubes have
become, compared to the first gen 707, 727 and 737.


I have all sorts of time as a passenger in 727's, & 737's of all
vintages, and have yet to fly in the new 737 MAX, so it is to soon for
me to comment.

I am very impressed with the 787, and over the last year it has become
my AC of choice when flying KLM (or any other airline if available). I
have had several SFO-AMS-SFO flights (KLM) in the 787-9, and they have
been so much more comfortable in all respects to the 777 and 747, even
in economy (In the 787 I have only flown in their Economy Comfort
seating). I have come to dislike flying in the 777, especially in
economy. I have flown KLM Business class in 747 and 777 and that is
pretty good.

Alas, I have very little time inside any of the above; my observations
are from the groundlubber-under-the-flightpath earview. It's been a
couple decades since I've been on an airliner - a 757 with a rocket in
its pocket. Other than that, had a great flight on a DHC-2 Beaver
float plane a couple years ago.
