Best Classic Jets>

The list starts with all the ones Captainsim already did,  707, 727 and 737-200, so taking it from there..

747-200 - The first and the best Jumbo Jet

Comet 4 - First Passenger Jet

Caravelle - Best short range jet in the late 50s and 60s

VC-10 - the second european four jet engines and a unique one with their position in the rear.

DC8 in all its variants, an important intercontinental jet, together with the 707, they gave the name to the era of the "jetset"

L1011 Tristar - Together with the 747 and the DC10, they were the three Widebodies, or jumbos, that revolutionized size in aviation

Trident - UK version of the 727

BAC 111 - short range bijet

DC-9 Douglas version of short range T tail

Fokker F28 - Nice dutch short range small jet

DC10 - Main 747 competitor for many years

you can add the Convair, the 720, but they are redundancies of the 707s
as the mD11 is of the DC10 and the 747SP a short 747
missing any other?

To me aviation, sentimentaly, ends here, from then on 757, 767, 777, airbuses, 737-500 and up, they are part of a new computerized era that is not as interesting as the golden times.
