I prefer the MD11 but any trijet will do

Bit of a strech here, but if we're counting the Air Force then I have to go with the F-86

If we're just talking airliners I always thought that the 757 was sexy. The NWA silver paint scheme looks sharp too.

The Airbus A-330 is pretty good looking too!

I root for the 757 as well. I could look at this video all day, and wonder how can it do this without stalling? Such an amazing machine. YouTube - 757-200 of No.40 Squadron, Royal New Zealand Air Force

As long as you are voting for the 757, put winglets on it and I've got agree. Still, I love the L1011. Oh wait. The Concorde!

757 in the original Delta paint scheme. Otherwise, anything made by Convair. Convair 880,990, Hustler. You name it. They rocked!

Nothing beats a DC-10/MD-10/11 aside from a KC-10. Hands down the best looking airliner ever made. Sleek, fast, sporty, but at the same time a huge SOB.

My earliest memories are of taking Northwest 727 flights from Portland, OR to Butte, MT. I can remember going down the back stairs because Butte didn't have a Jetway until the 90's and I can remember trying to guess with my brother if the nose cone would be white or black. When I saw this picture posted on airliners.net I could hardly believe it. This photo sums up the beginning of my love of flying. I'd do just about anything for the opportunity to fly 72's. I think this is the greatest airliner ever built. While the 747 may have opened up global travel to the masses, the 727 brought trans-continental jet service to the heart of America.
