Not to detract from the fabulous collection by DarryIO

A340-400: the Noodle (as it's so long that it flexes like a noodle on takeoff)
A340-600 I think??

Thread Drift
I remember standing at the very back of the Y cabin on a trip across the Pond and watched it flex. Better to be in the Premium Economy as then you were at the wing root. However, on a night trip back from JNB, I watched out the window as the stars went up and down. She was rolling side-to-side and I saw this on other journeys of the -600.

When it comes to the B17, my father taught us children:
"We're flying Flying Fortresses at 40 000 feet
"We've got bags of point five ammo and a teeny-weeny bomb"
