does anyone here have a favourite aircraft thats not one of the big popular planes like the 777,747, or the newer a340-500 and -600? for me its like those planes are "celebrities" in a sense and all the other planes are kinda like regular people. what im asking is does anyone have a favourite aircraft thats not one of those four popular choices but is a regular plane like a 767 or 757 or a330? and what makes it your favourite aircraft?

I think 330s and 767s are just as popular, if not more, as 777s and A340s.
We already have a thread similar to this still somewhat active.
Some of mine that aren't all over the place anymore would have to be the Fokker 100, Jetstream 41, Embraer 120, Bae-146, Bac-111. That is assuming that names like DC-10, L-1011, DC-9 and 727 are too mainstream.

Now, here are some planes I don't particularly care for:
EMB-120
A319
DC-9
737-200
Not to upset you Airbus fans too much, but I have never liked the take off or landings on the A319. When the plane takes off and the gear is retracted, there seems to be a "grinding sound" that is just not there with Boeing metal. Plus, the landing is not as smooth as on the 757 or 737NG.
I will have my first flight on an Airbus widebody this Summer (A330). I'm expecting a better experience.

My Favourite Airplane!!!
Yeah,
I have a favourite airplane....its the Fairchild Hiller FH-227 that was produced from 1966 until 1968...78 examples built. Sadly perhaps only 2 or three left flying. I have a website dedicated to this machine. If you check out my profile here, there is a link to the site as my "homepage".
Take a look and send me some feedback on what you think....
I am looking for some FH-227 video, if anyone might have some....
I know that in September of 1984, DAT of Belgium did a three plane fly-by over Antwerp Harbor....Below is a link to that even from my website...
There had to be some sort of videotaping of that going on and I would so much love to get a copy if anyone here was there!!!
Anyway, thats the plane that I like....
Cheers, Access-Air
