Like you, never a 747. I got on the same big ones as you, L-1011 & DC-10, courtesy of the US Army & World Airways to Frankfurt Rhein-Main AB.

Boy that L-1011. If I was a multi-billionaire, I’d have a couple in my fleet. Fantastic bird.

One night, long long ago, returning from Boston, I never EVER felt the main gear touch the runway. Absolutely amazing.

Dad (RIP) and I complemented the pilots as we deplaned. Several rides in the L-1011. 727, even 707, a gazillion in 737’s (prefer 300 or above), DC-9, MD-80/82/84 and an Airbus 319. I took a prop plane outta Oklahoma City once but I don’t remember what it was. Too long ago.
