Really? I as a flightmech had to pick up F/E, first flight on a DC-10, I had to bite my lip as this greenhorn blurted out "holly !!!! this aircraft is big when you get close to it". The Captain asked me to monitor him....
The DC-10 was my first airliner as an F/E up till then it was 40 seat commuter planes and smaller. I had exactly the same thought, that was a big airplane !
Nothing wrong with that sentiment.
