The Boeing 747 is larger than the MD-11.[edit]

Regarding "While flying at American Airlines, Harris piloted a number of different types of commercial aircraft including the Boeing 747 ... and the McDonnell Douglas MD-11, American Airlines' largest commercial aircraft during Harris' career."

This seems incorrect since the Boeing 747-100, the smallest 747 version American Airlines is likely to have flown, is larger in maximum departure mass (MTOW), length, and width than the MD-11. If you know otherwise please comment. Otherwise I'll delete just the "..., American Airlines' largest commercial aircraft during Harris' career." portion of that paragraph within about a week.

So as to retain the honor of piloting American Airlines largest aircraft at the time, I revised the paragraph to:
"Harris piloted a number of different types of commercial aircraft while flying at American Airlines, including their largest at the time of his retirement, the Boeing 747, plus the Boeing 727, Boeing 767, the Airbus A300, the Douglas DC-6, the Douglas DC-7, the Lockheed L-188 Electra aircraft, the BAC One-Eleven and the McDonnell Douglas MD-11."
