Best aircraft to work on

[rotornut]

Since we've heard about the WORST aircraft to work on, in a recent thread, how about the BEST?
My engineer friends all seem to like the 172 and the Beaver. Any others?

172 and beaver? What about A340-300/600 or B747-400
Airbus wins every time!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fokker 50 (with the exception of the elevator/rudder tension regulators)

767-200/300 the queen of the skies.no job a major problem.

Sadly not many around any more but I'd vote for the Lockeed L1011 Tristar

Because it was a challenge

For me the boeing 757 beautifully engineered and a looker as well.

British F4M Phantom, with the big dirty Speys, luuuverly !

ATP. Just for the masses of Overtime it generated.

Oh yes, and for the opportunity to make up names to fit the letters.

EG. Another Technical Problem, Avros Taking the Piss.

L1011 - no doubt a real challenge. i realised how BMS 3-11 fluid tasted when uplifting inside the misting HSC in a transit aircraft.

my vote to B737NG. small size / fast WAC / no need for work step.

The best aircraft, without doubt, be it regional, longhaul, piston, jet, pax or freighter, is the one that just flew over the fence, outbound

Going back to the original post in this thread, I think you will find a beaver is hard to beat

The Doc

[the egg man]

just like the doc
i love beaver too..but not of the aircraft variety.

[Perrin]

Its got to be the beast, a B52 can lose a couple, ten feet of tail and still fly. F406 wasn't bad either.

[allthatglitters]

quite simply the L1011.
