    I'm a fan of WWII aircrafts, especially aobut fighters with propeller. My "favorite" one is the english Hawker Tempest Mk V (series 2 :)), which is for me a mix of elegance and agressivity, which its big radiator under the nose. I suppose this passion isn't uncommon amongst boys around the World, and wonder which plane is your favorite ?

        My favourite airoplane is definitely the SkyCar. :omg: Cheers, Simon "From now on, if rogue states want to buy weapons of mass destruction, they're going to have to go on eBay," Mr. Bezos said.

          If we are talking WWII aircraft then I'll have to plump for the Spitfire. One seriously beautiful plane with a distinguished history. Michael Life’s not a song. Life isn’t bliss. Life is just this. It’s living. -- Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Once more, with feeling

            Spitfire & Lancaster Bomber are my favorites but I'm also a big fan of the Stuka divebomber.

                  Yep, she's really beautiful, at least with full elliptic wing (that is not the mk V for example)

                                    Well, the only plane I've ever piloted (at the age of about 10 - the fun of having a Grandfather in the RAF) was a Cesna, which was fun (scary, but fun) Come to think of it, I've only ever flown in Cesnas. One of these days I'll actually go on a holiday to another country that's further away than a ferry or train trip (although the Eurostar is pretty nice!) -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!

                                      Well, I am building a WWI Nieuport 11, does that count? ;-) Going pretty slow; all this programming gets in the way you know. Easy to build (hand tools: drill, saw, rivit gun). Real Cheap too! :cool: Nieuport 11 kits Why wait for a ride in a biplane when you can build your own? ;-)

                                        I'm a fan of WWII aircrafts, especially aobut fighters with propeller. My "favorite" one is the english Hawker Tempest Mk V (series 2 :)), which is for me a mix of elegance and agressivity, which its big radiator under the nose. I suppose this passion isn't uncommon amongst boys around the World, and wonder which plane is your favorite ?

                                        For WWII aircraft, I'm going with the Lancaster (good ole 617squadron!) and the Spitfire. For modern aircraft, I love the F-14 (getting on in it's old age), the F/A-18, and the F-22 (the -23 looked pretty cool too!). That's why I ramble so much. If you're short and quotable, there's a much greater danger of ending up in a sig. [Christopher Duncan on how to prevent yourself from ending up in a sig]
