Here's my initial suggestion, subject to revision:

1. The Concorde
2. Boeing 747
3. Airbus A380
4. McDonnell-Douglas DC-10
5. Lockheed L-1011

What do you think? How many of you have flown this "Big Five?" (I would be four for five).
I am five for five. Loved them all. I really liked the 747 SP on Pan Am.
