    I just really miss tri jets, love seening MD-10 and MD-11s on cargo routes tho
  • @TransistorBased
    I've been completely enthralled by planes my entire life, and literally today just found out the Boeing 717 was a thing.
  • @mickfarmer6248
    Concorde still looks really futuristic even though it was designed in 1963
  • @B0R1S3K
    I would add convair to this list. Still the 990A is fastest subsonic airliner to this day.
  • @darkpepsi
    I live near the former assembly building in Long Beach, California, U.S. where all of Douglas-McDonald Douglas at the Long Beach Airport. The only building that remains is the DC-9/B717 with the city designating the neon sign “Fly DC Jets!” as a historical landmark.
  • @igotanM16
    We're gonna miss seeing the MD-11F when it's remaining operators stop flying it. It really is a majestic bird. An engine built into the tail... iconic design.
  • You forget to mention Russian aircraft makers during the cold war such as Tupolev, Ilyushin, Antonov, Yakolev, Sukhoi (this make the Sukhoi Superjet today), and many others. They were Boeing and other western aircraft companies competitor in eastern europe and some communist countries.

  • The A320, as of December 2019, is the best selling commercial airliner. Selling 400 more aircrafts then Boeing. That number coming from the Paris Air show.
  • @farhatiqbal3089
    I've seen the BAE aircraft at Manchester Aviation Park in the green and white livery. It has a red cabin and a beautiful cockpit
