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 ?

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.

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.

It's hard to pick a favorite. P-40E? Wildcat? P-51D? Spitfire? Hurricane? P-38? F4U Corsair? ------- signature starts "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001 Please review the Legal Disclaimer in my bio. ------- signature ends

Next summer I've been promised a ride in a Tiger Moth[^]. Not many of them around these days... /moliate

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? ;-)

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]
