I thought with all the aircraft enthusists out there Id do a survey to find out what aircraft is the most popular. So, whats your favorite aircraft? Mines the B-17, of course.
A-1 Skyraider!!! Same bomb load as a B-17, but just 1 engine!!! B-17 was a good one too. [2c]
The B-36, man! HUGE airplane, 10 engines, 16 20 mm cannons, and in the (not exact) words of the Comic Book Guy on the Simpsons, “Biggest bomb load ever!” Can’t get no sweeter.
B-17F Flying Fortress–the Queen of the Skies!
Bee17 is clearly new. This post has been there done it, worn out and thin!
P-51 hands down
I was lucky enough to sit in a fully restored FG-1D Corsair last summer. Never felt anything that felt so right. I love that airplane. I’ve been lucky enough to get to know some guys that flew it. It was a love affair with them. No doubt about it.

Su 27, Su 30.
Very nice looking…and great performance…
kind of a tossup between the F4F, F4U, F3H, S2F, and of course, the B-17
If I had to choose one, I’d probably choose the F4F
P-47, F-15E and the A-10

XB-70 Valkyrie
Fighter:BF109,any make [you said fav,not best]
Medium Bomber:B25 Mitchell ,Martin Marauder or about 10 others
Heavy:How about the mighty Avro Lancaster ? They’ve got a bombload that wets all over a B17.

It’ll always be the P-47s my Dad flew.
The Phabulous Phantastic F-4 Phantom. I have had the Phantom Phever since being a Phormer Phantom Phixer. The aircraft is so ugly it is beautiful.
PBY Catalina.
It has a majestic look with that broad wing parasol wing, big tail, boat-like fuselage and a slowly, stately cruising speed -and even though my dad wasn’t a pilot, it was he first plane he ever flew in.
Mine would have to between the P-47, A-1 Skyraider, A-10 and the FW190 Dora.
