I’ve noticed that the topic of favorite fighter keeps popping up, but what about non-fighters? Is it one you have fond memories of or not-so-fond memories of? You don’t have to pick just one but you can pick the ones you like by era. For the fighters only crowd you can pick your favorite target.
There are others that I could list, but if I listed EVERYTHING I like, I would pick them all![:P] So have fun with this and I hope I didn’t bore you too badly[zzz]
Hey MiG17, there’s a Ford Trimotor being restored about 15 miles from here - heading out to the restoration shop Monday to see how it’s going and offer my metal restoration services.
I would say the AC-130 Spectre.
That is one impressive piece of firepower and I pity the poor soldiers that are below it when it goes into it’s left-turn attack pattern. [:0]
Since i don’t really fancy fighters, this is just a list of my favorite planes… [;)]
B-17 Flying Fortress (Cliche, i know, but i can’t help it.), PBY-5A Catalina, A-26 Invader, A-6 Intruder, Kingair 200, C-47… There are a few that i’m forgetting. [:)]
My favorite of all time would have to be without a doubt the A-10. But there are many more besides that that i like but the A-10 stands out the most.[}:)][}:)][}:)] just for the shear fire power that it brings to the field.
You’re welcome. The subject of favorite fighter has been flogged into the ground. And I know that everyone can’t like just fighters. I can add a whole plethora of A/C that I like, the ones I listed are just the ones that came to mind. How about the Ju-88 or He-111, or one of my favorite almosts, the TSR.2. The Hercules is up there too. Nothing beats the grace of the Connie. Several come close, the B-1B comes to mind here, very graceful lines on that one. One thing I have noticed is the lack of civilian birds. Like the Cessna 310 or 140. I’m just now getting into civil aviation and I’m finding a lot that I like.
