One is intrigued how the 737-900 copes given that the 737-400 had frequent tailstrikes. Also the 757-300 looks a bit long and unwieldy. The 747 could not handle a further stretch with that fuselage design.

I once watched an Eastern A300 landing tailstrike at MIA close up (right next to it). Quite spectacular for a minor event, not even felt on the flight deck.
