Saab 340 and Avrojet RJ85 will forever have soft spots in my heart.
I had the pleasure to ride both of them before they were decommissioned by NWA and other American carriers.

Boeing planes have always had an air about them that airbus could never quite captured. It's mostly apparent in the two companies' jumbo jets. That and airbuses have always had this bland, sterile aura about them, feels like a flying hospital.

While I don't disagree with you that the 747 family will remain more iconic aesthetically, emotionally, and historically compared to the A380 (even though the A300 was its more time appropriate competition), I think that is mostly thanks to the novelty of the double deck and being first to market with the double deck widebody. The 787 also takes marks for being first to market for the point to point long haul airplane of choice. That wing rake and flex is unlike any other.

I'll back Boeing because America, but the company has been grossly mismanaged in the last 15 or so years with bloated fat cat bureaucrats stifling any engineering innovation. I hope that they can change course and return to their former excellency.

I remember when the Boeing triple seven came out. I got a chance to tour it when American Airlines first bought them to add to their fleet. Then in 2007 I got to fly on one to visit Japan. It was a very impressive plane, blowing everything else out of the sky at the time. The 787 did not really exceed it in any major way, and had serious embarrassing blunders with its battery systems. Now we get the whole 737 Max fiasco.

Maybe it's the exception but in my view the A380 does have a mean look. But also, I'm being honest, I grew up when the A380 was the hottest new thing and the latest "aviation marble", so I'm a bit biased prob because of nostalgia.
