Actually seeing one up close and in the 'flesh', nothing says i am going to ****ing kill you like a Hawker Typhoon, IMO, even the A10 doesn't compare. The four cannon protruding 3 feet from the wings, and that radiator - it is an absolute beast...

The Phantom was an absolute pig to work on. Go underneath it to perform maintenance and it leaked oil, hydraulic fluid or fuel, or sometimes all 3 on you.
Otoh, it was pretty darn sexy with 24 500 lb'rs and 8 missiles loaded on it. :D

Had that poster on my son's wall for a long time. Back in college I used to get a chance to watch the Happy Hooligan F4D's take off from Hector field. Talk about power. Can't not like the Phantom :)

One of the coolest things I've ever seen involved a pair of Phantoms.
While stationed in Alaska one winter, we had some Phantoms visit us for a couple weeks. The Phantom's exhaust nozzles are angled slightly downwards and during early morning takeoffs (it was still dark) the afterburners would literally ignite the de-icing chemicals on the runways. (Well, it happened every time but it only looked really cool early in the mornings while it was still dark. :D )
The effect looked like something you would see in a cartoon or in a movie. :D
*edit* If you want to talk power, then you need to see an F-15 takeoff and go into a max climb. Very, very impressive.
When an F-15 is going to do a max climb right off the runway it will get airborne very quickly. Just as soon as the gear leave the runway they are tucked away and the F-15 maintains level flight about 10 feet or so above the runway while he gains speed. Just as the plane reaches the end of the runway the pilot will stand that bird on it's tail and climb through 30,000 feet in under a minute.

During my 24 years in the USAF I was lucky enough to wrench on these aircraft at one time or another; B-52G, D and H models, KC-135A and Q models, FB-111B, C-130A, H, NC, and V models, A-7, F-16, F-15, A-10, TR-1 (U-2), SR-71, UH-1H, CH-53, F-4H, OV-10, F-101, B-2, F-117.
I was also able to work on these aircraft as a volunteer for air shows and over hauls; B-17(assisted in the over haul of the original Memphis Bell in 1988), P-51, and a P-47.
I actually had the chance to sit in the nose of the Memphis Bell one night, after a long day of work, during the over haul we did on her, and drink a beer while looking at the stars through the Plexiglas. Call me melodramatic, but I couldn't help but get goose bumps thinking about the history I was sitting in.
As far as a favorite; that's tough, but I'm partial to my Boeing aircraft, in particular the B-52. The most fun to fly around in to me, was the UH-1H; had some great times flying in the hueys.

As far as I know, the G model was the last suffix used by the
USAF. The one in my avatar is an E model, in fact one I used to work on
during the 80s. I've not heard of the H so I'm curious. I do think the
original was an F-110H, so maybe that's it.

It's a virant called the "typo"; I fat fingered it, I meant "G" model. I was with the 6514th Flight Test Squadron at Hill AFB and we had four G models we used to chase target drones with. They later got involved with the QF-4E target drone mods; it broke my heart to see those beauties roll out dressed for target duty.

(http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m24/Jameswells26/orig5.jpg)
Here is the back story about that "toilet bomb":
"In October 1965, CDR Clarence J. Stoddard, Executive Officer of VA-25 "Fist of the Fleet", flying an A-1H Skyraider, NE/572 "Paper Tiger II" from Carrier Air Wing Two aboard USS Midway carried a special bomb to the North Vietnamese in commemoration of the 6 millionth pound of ordinance dropped. This bomb was unique because of the type... it was a toilet!
The following is an account of this event, courtesy of Clint Johnson, Captain, USNR Ret. Captain Johnson was one of the two VA-25 A-1 Skyraider pilots credited with shooting down a MiG-17 on June 20, 1965.
I was a pilot in VA-25 on the 1965 Vietnam cruise.
The 572 was flown by CDR C. W. "Bill" Stoddard. His wingman in 577 (which was my assigned airplane) was LCDR Robin Bacon, who had a wing station mounted movie camera (the only one remaining in the fleet from WWII).
The flight was a Dixie Station strike (South Vietnam) going to the Delta. When they arrived in the target area and CDR Stoddard was reading the ordnance list to the FAC, he ended with "and one code name Sani-flush".
The FAC couldn't believe it and joined up to see it. It was dropped in a dive with LCDR Bacon flying tight wing position to film the drop. When it came off, it turned hole to the wind and almost struck his airplane. It made a great ready room movie. The FAC said that it whistled all the way down. The toilet was a damaged toilet, which was going to be thrown overboard.
One of our plane captains rescued it and the ordinance crew made a rack, tailfins and nose fuse for it. Our checkers maintained a position to block the view of the air boss and the Captain while the aircraft was taxiing forward.
Just as it was being shot off, we got a 1MC message from the bridge, "What the hell was on 572's right wing?" There were a lot of jokes with air intelligence about germ warfare. I wish that we had saved the movie film.
CDR Stoddard was later killed while flying 572 in Oct 1966.
He was hit by three SAMs over Vinh. "

Actually not bad unless somebody is asking for money.;) You're correct the F-111 is one loud monster looking aircraft. I went to A-10s once I left Upper Heyford, that's probably what saved my hearing. I'm hoping to take my wife to visit the UK and whatever is left of RAF Upper Heyford in the next year or so. I also want to visit Oxford, Bandbury, Brackley, Towceister, and some other of my old haunts. I really love your country.:aok

In AH, nothing is better to get through enemy air defenses to bomb a critical target than the B-26 Marauder.

Getting a direct hit in the engine from a German 88mm AA gun, though, really sucks:

Yeah the Connie is stunning. But always thought it bizarre that it needed those fuel tanks at the ends of the wings.

My constant urge to commit to a fight forces me to the 109 though. Both sexy birds. :aok

The 109 gallon tip tanks were optional on the Super Contellations.
