Anyone here have a favorite plane to fly in FS9 or a favorite plane they have flown in? My fave. is the new Delta Boeing 777's. I flew in it too once, from Atlanta to Miami. What an amazing aircraft. We were wayyy up over the clouds just minutes from takeoff...well over 15,000 ft in no time!!! Its thrust and ability to climb with power overwhelmed me....from Atlanta to Miami=48 minutes...incredible.

Overall it would have to be the 777-300ER, even though I haven't flown in one. Yet. Wink Closely followed by the 747-400 however.

Some of us do view things differently, but I do get in out of the weather on occasion, and even have some navigational equipment. Big Grin

Favorite flying machine? Bell 206L1...

Favorite plane? Well, I really have a bad taste in my mouth about the 777, only by its terrible representation in MSFS. I recently flew in one from London to LAX, and it seemed pretty impressive, but MSFS has ruined it for me.

I have always, and will always, loved the 737, starting at the 300 model and working all the way through the 800 model. The 900 model just looks goofy.

My flight from LAX to Phoenix was in a CRJ 900, and she is currently the one I am crushing after.
