Sorry to hear that.

I was fortunate to fly on them back and forth to Asia several times. Great aircraft.

I’ll bet it was awesome. Really loved the 707 and 727 aircraft.

Not too crazy about 737 100 and 200 series.

After the 300 with the bigger engines, cool. That being said, that vertical stabilizer hydraulic control ........

I had just flown to Connecticut for software training. That was the day USAIR 427 went down.

From what I’d heard, military testing revealed that there was a problem with the unit.

And no, I’ve never been on a 737 Max.

For me the ultimate passenger jet was the Lockheed L-1011.

I did ride on a DC-10 once. We were coming in from Los Angeles to Denver. I don’t know if we were eating somebody up or if they had to scrub altitude after clearing terrain, but they threw out the spoilers (or so it looked) and maybe cut the throttles. I was hanging in the seat belt like they’d stomped a brake in mid-air. LOL

I was seated at the window next to the port wing.
