Best aircraft to work on
 
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)

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

Because it was a challenge:cool:

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

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.:E

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 :ok:

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

The Doc

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

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 11th January 2004 16:59

quite simply the L1011.
