My favourite planes

Boeing 747

The first 747 at Boeing Field.
As you can see, the plane is larger than life.
Of course, it's even bigger when it's coming after you.
Not all planes live at Boeing Field. We saw this TWA 747 at Boston/Logan.

Boeing 727

The first 727, currently being refurbished at Boeing/Everett.
Valsan Corp refitted some 727s with winglets.

Boeing 767

My favourite variant is the 767-300. Here is a 767-200 at Salt Lake City Int'l Airport (and if you frequent SLC you'll be able to tell what concourse the picture is taken from :-).

When the Concorde was built, it was proclaimed that "the E shall stand for England". Here is Concorde at the 1994 Farnborough Airshow

The SR-71 is still menacing looking, even if it has been officially withdrawn from service (placed in "inactive reserve").
Boeing is refurbishing an old United 247
