Planes fly because of gravity.

Boeing 777 all the way. There has literally been no major incidents involving a Boeing 777-300 series plane, and only few with the 200 series.

This is my favorite and i think most beautiful plane ever made. All 707 variants besides the joint stars and ones with huge radar noses. I love 707s. I don't know why.. they're like the pioneer of everything we know about jet travel today. I aspire to fly E-3s.

Both major Malaysian airlines flight accidents were using 777's

What is your point here?

[Zloff]

well the second one was shot down so that's not entirely the planes fault

Indeed, but those were also both 777-200ER's iirc

with emphasis on the -300 part in case someone would immediately say that
find a list of all boeing 777-300 series aircraft, and you'll see not one has ever been lost yet, which is pretty damn good
