Favorite aircraft of all time?

Post by michaeld20 » 23 Jul 2011, 20:47

Post what your favorite aircraft of all time is? mine is split between 3.
The Spitfire, The F-117 Stealth Bomber, Or the F-22 (Or the RAH-66)
Can be military issue, or commercial issue(or anything in between)
P.S. Luke I think your favorite is the A-10 Thunderbolt

One of the most beautiful airplanes ever produced was the Lockheed P-38, and I tops my list. I suppose I'll always have a soft spot for the CH-46, given the amount of time I've spent flying them.

F-22 Raptor is a beast. Did a speech on it for English a couple of years ago (I was proposing a documentary be made about the F-22).
Or AC-130. That too is a sweet aircraft.

The B-2 bomber. Awesome looking, attacks stealthy like a ninja, and my grandpa helped design it! Well, parts of it at least. But he was one of the first to know about its existance!

I'm sure the RAF fighter pilots loved those as well.
