(can be old:707 can be future:787 can be big: Airbus A380 it can be small: global express) if you are not into civil planes then you can choose big military planes ( b-52 KC-10 b-2) or just any big plane

MD-11 for Civil

Military is a tie between a bunch of cool ones.
MiG-29 / Su-27 / F-16 / F-18

And VTOL

Yak-141 Freestyler
Av-8's are awesome too.

This is a short clip of MY favorite "Jet 4+" in action

"Peace is Our Profession, War Is just a Hobby"

B52G doing exactly as Boeing designed it to do,

"what we wanted it to do!"

oh tomcat u have no idea. I go to school here with people from Iran - u know what they call themselves to alleviate using the word Iran?
They call themselves 'Persians'. "Hi i'm from Persia."
My response - "Really? Where is that, cuz i never see that on the map..... oh wait ur refering to Iran right?"

Not to bash or anything, but after taking 15 soilders, and now accusing them of something they did not do n 'puttin them on "trial" ' - which we know what the out come will be since there is no proper justice in that country or cuz of bias, is a little bit irate to me.

Plus, something deep inside me says that giving them anything nuclear, even if it was used for energy in a peaceful manner, would seem like giving a loaded gun to a convict and saying "Here, we trust you."

Bah Bah Bah - i scoff at them

Another on of these threads.... :) Well, I'm not even sure which my favorite is any more... I've been seeing so many more new airplanes since I started flying. It will definitlely be a vintage tailwheel. Perhaps a Waco.

bromster · Posted: Thu May 10, 2007 3:17 pm Post subject: 727 / 747

I definitely say a 727 (probably the 200 series).

Unlike all these fancy, fiddly airbusses and Glass Cockpit 737s... a 727 is an aircraft that you actually FLY!!! Constantly monitoring the stab trim to squeeze out as much speed as you can during cruise! Plus its swept-back wings make it FAST!!! It's tail-heavy too which makes it feel like you're floating through the sky, especially on approach... If you want to wheelie a plane, try it on a 727!!! :D WOW!!!

However, the 747-400 is the benchmark when it comes to long-haul. Perfect in every way!!!

Cool!! i havnt told you my military faves yet. Well, i was in the UK air cadets and got up to flt sgt (flight sergeant), we went flying in Grob 115E 'tutors' and some types of glider, i think it was the viking Tmk1, well, anyway. my favourite military planes are the Ex RAF and RAAF F-111 ardvards and the modern Eurofighter typhoon. i also LOVE the Y/F 22 'raptor'

Well, since I am but a lowly 25+ year auto mechanic who grew up with an Air Force dad, my faves do tend to be military in nature as well. For single prop, nothin' beats a good old Navion, except for maybe an A1-e Skyraider. Light jet? T-37 Tweety Bird all the way. Twin prop? C-123 Provider. Three prop? Britton Norman Trislander. Four prop? C-130 Hercules (any make, any model). Executive jet? Dassault 7x. Heavy jet? 707. Jumbo jet? The awesome An225. Fave helo is the MH53 Pave Low. The only seat time I have is an hour in the T37 simulator at Randolph and a few minutes in the right seat hands on in one of the nav-training Sabreliners when I was 18 and in the Air Explorers. I have an open invite from one of my customers to go up with him in his '49 L-17B Navion, if I can just make the time.......sigh

Just a quick note. Me and GS just missed each other in Aviano, Italy. Honest.

My old man, was also Air Force, as well as his 6 brothers. Then his father, then those before him, in the Army Air Corps. Same with my Mother, all her male family members were Air Force, or Army Air Corps.

So then, a/c. F-4, F-16, F-117, F-14, B-52, SR-71, C-130, ETC, ETC. For airliners, mostly the 757, 707, 727, and the 787.

Don't really have a favorite helo, sorry.

BTW, I have a picture of Santa, coming out of cockpit of an F-4, from Aviano.
