Ugly.

I think they look nice and wacky and remind me of the alien from megamind if you look at the from the front. I like them… What can I say?

What is your favourite type of Aircraft?
My favorite was the 747 Dreamlifter, B747 LCF.
Why do you like this aircraft so much?
It was fat, ugly and ate other planes. And it was still pretty fast.
It was built by Boeing to shuttle 787 wings and fuselage sections from Japan and Italy to Boeing field in Seattle for assembly. There’s only four of them. I got to fly it for a couple years.
Is there an aircraft that you have not flown but want to fly?
B-17 or a “Connie” Constellation
What is your least favourite Aircraft?
Every plane has something to love about it.
What is your favourite aircraft company. E.G. Airbus, Boeing etc
Airbus is more comfortable, more quiet, and that tray table is genius, but nothing will beat the 747 for just pure class.

The Beluga and the like may be ugly, but you have to say they are fantastic pieces of engineering.

What is your favourite type of Aircraft?
I really like the A350.
Why do you like this aircraft so much?
I find the cabins very spacious, I love the ambient lighting, they are quiet, I never have jet lag after flying them… just very sexy!
Is there an aircraft that you have not flown but want to fly?
I actually haven’t been in a 747. I fly quite a bit and I think that’s the only one I haven’t been on as it’s not really been on any of my routes nor with a carrier in my alliance.
What is your least favourite Aircraft?
Not a huge fan of the A340.
What is your favourite aircraft company. E.G. Airbus, Boeing etc.
Airbus.
