Then a 747 across the pond. Since then 767's, A300, A340, 747SP and A330. I will get my first 777 ride late this month. Don't know if I'll make the A380. Just looking at the DC-10 tells you the number 2 engine was kind of an afterthought. They had an easier time fitting it in than Lockheed had with the TriStar, though. Thanks to someone for reminding me that the 747 preceded the DC10. There's a very active Yahoo list called SkyOne, that most of the contributors to this list belong to.
