What is your favorite aircraft, and why?

[SirLoin]

Nicest looking plane for me is the F4F....First R/C plane I ever scratch built....Couldn't figure out how to make landing gear for it,so I painted wheels underneath and would belly land after a hand launch.

Aces High..P47D11/25..I like green...

[SirLoin]

P40E...For Duel arena my favorite.

[Karnak]

Mosquito FB.Mk VI Srs 2 and Spitfire F.Mk XIVc

The Mossie because its fun to fly and it can do any job, though some take quite a bit of work to succeed at.  In the last couple of years I've really started to like this aircraft.

The Spitfire Mk XIV because it is a built killing machine.  It looks aggressive and it feels aggressive.  The Spitfire XIV has been my favorite WWII aircraft for more than a decade.

The plane I really wish had gone into production so I could fly:

The next coolest bomber around that I plan to fly instead:

Ohh, the Spitfire is my all time favourite, and in AH as well. If I was to pick a variant, I'd say the boosted up  Mk VII, now that one would eat any other fighter from the same era.
Think of it as a Mk IX on Steroids

Fighter pliots shoot down enemy planes - I think it's that simple and ideology does not enter into it. Then do you also discount the greatest allied aces like Kozhedub and Pokryskin because they too fought for an evil regime? And what about Japan's great aces, they dont count either do they? Or what about the british who fought to maintain their possibly racist opressive colonial empire? Or the south african flying heros who went back home after the war and created apartheid?

WW2 era:

Me-163 Komet

It's beautiful


Modern:

Lockeed SR-71

Idem

[Makofan]

Any spitfire

[eddiek]

P-47 Thunderbolt.........The JUG baby!!!!  Took on the LW when it was still strong and won.  And like Ammo said, then the Pony comes along after the hard part is done and get the credit.....

Second favorite.....it's a tie between the F6F and the P-38.  Hellcat because of it's ruggedness, P-38 because it was and is so SWEET to look at.  IMO, it was far ahead of it's time.

WW2: Finnish Brewster & Spitfires = attitude & style

Modern: Su-27 & evos = meanguns

[LLv34_Snefens]

It can only be the Me 410 "Hornisse"

Grun, if you re-read my short post I think you will see I didn't say they never counted. I simply questioned the use of the word greatness when applied to them. That they were good pilots is not in question regardless of who they flew for but I do disagree, ideology does matter.

There isn't a word or combination of words that could be used that will ever make me beleive otherwise, however I defend your right and the rights of others to fawn over the Nazi war machine all you want.
