RJ-85 as flown by NW Airlink (Mesaba). Very cool looking plane, has GREAT
first class seats

What he said. Best domestic first class seats, IMHO, and more
comfortable than some international business class seats I've seen.

I'm with you, Jim, these turbine guys don't appreciate true beauty on the
wing.

B757, not really sure why but I think it is just the way it looks. It
looks
like a true airliner, high off the ground sleek lines, can fly in and out
of
most airports and it can go the distance.

Based on appearance only, I think a lot of people would agree with you. It
is a very graceful looking airliner, although the 757-3 kills the effect.

Without question, sitting in Business Class on an Airbus 340.

Nonsense. The business class seats on EgyptAir's Airbus 340s are
nothing to write home about.

Love the plane
and feel it has the most comfortable seat in business class in the industry.

EgyptAir? Most comfortable seat in the industry? Ha!

To me, it makes no difference which type of aircraft I fly on as long as
it gets me where I am going safety and reasonably on time.

I love it when I get the odd chance to fly a triple-seven. Looking
WAY down at those huge engines and that giant fuselage. It's an
impressive plane.

Tri Stars. (commonly referred to as "try to starts")

Those Rolls RB211's were a little finicky in high/dry conditions like
SLC. Sometime they'd need a "jump start".

The L1011 airframe was built like a tank.

I was also fond of MD-11's. (especially in first class)

G-BOAF, which has since been retired at Filton. :-(

Original message gone, replying to reply

Since this is turning into a nostalgia exercise, let me throw in
Convair 990. It felt and sounded like a rocket. I think it was the
first commercial fan-jet, which gave it its unique sound. Only flew it
once and it made an impression.
