Airbus seems to be taking a lot of orders from Boeing these days. It will be a sad day when the 757's leave the fleet, the most beautiful subsonic airliner ever made.
I think I'm going to vote for the international version of the 707 as the most beautiful subsonic jet ever produced.
yep
Neither company has a perfect product mix. It will be a sad day when the last 747 is built.
Well, I have seen the 707, 727 and now the 757 start and end production. I saw the 747 start production and as you allude, the end is not far. The 767 is not far behind. The 777 and 787 will rise to the top and all else will be obsolete. They may be at or nearing production's end but I'll bet they'll all be flying somewhere for a pretty good while.LOL
It doesn't really matter whether it's Boeing or Airbus. From the standpoint of safety, both companies make great aircraft, and none of their planes would be in skies (over the U.S. anyway) if they weren't proven safe. Besides, an A330 will get you there in about the same amount of time as a 777 will. When it comes to comfort, it's more about how the airline configures the cabin layout, rather than the actual aircraft itself. It's more important to look at the airline operating the aircraft, rather than the company that built it.
