Boeing or Airbus?

Postby Foxtrot Sport » Sun Aug 15, 2004 12:07 pm

There seems to be a lot of both aircraft out there (probably more Boeings though).  Just which one would you prefer.

I used to be a huge fan of airbus but I noticed how easy they are to fly when setup correct...so thats why I like boeing more....it gives you a challenge but not a hard challenge...but they say the B777 is the easiest aircraft to fly...

If it ain't Boeing,
It ain't going. Period
[move][i][color=Red]Any moment, everything can change, Feel the wind on your shoulder, For a minute, all the world can wait, Let go of your yesterday. Can you hear it calling? Can you feel it in your soul? Can you trust this longing? And take control, Fly

I'm split here.
The 737 is my baby, just like Ozzy loves his spitfires  ;D
BUT...the 737 vs. the newer 'Busses are worlds apart.

And Junior, could you develope the "challenge" theory, are you basing this on Simulation aircrafts or on how the real systems work?

Boeing all the way!!! one of the reasons is here: http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb/ ... 1091326550 . Every Airbus that I've ever flown on was noisy, cramped and overall uncomfortable.

I like Airbus too but I choose Boeing. I guess because I grew up (well still growing  ;D) around were they make Boeing planes. But I also love Airbus' A340 and A330  8)

Hmm well both the best and worst rides for me have been on Boeings.
The problem is comparing the aircraft, sometimes I've been on the same plane twice and had different experiences due to where I've been sat, but at the end of the day if it isn't a Spitfire.... ;D

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!
