[greatscoot]

SR71, A10, P51.

 

[Mecha]

SR71, A10, P51.

Great choices.

 

[Danke42]

Supermarine Spitfire.

Or, as the Germans used to shout in their Messerschmidt headsets,
“Achtung! Schpit-feuer!”

Spitfire, Mosquito, Lancaster and Mustang. Merlin was an engine before he was a wizard.

 

[Vaytsee]

BAC Lightning.
Two engines with two wings strapped on.
If you have seen one stand on its tail and climb, you would understand.

 

[ron finkbeiner jr]

F4U Corsair

I was lucky enough to see one close up go for the world climb record from 0-60,000 Ft. Unbelievable is the only word to describe it!!
I was also lucky enough to see one of the last RAF displays back in '84.

Good choice!

 

[smudge58]

Harrier Jump Jet, good enough to fight thousands of miles from home, flying from Aircraft Carriers and Container ships in the South Atlantic in the Falklands war, 1982.

Looks like I voted "other" in this thread a while back, but never explained, so I will now: A10. I have to say I'm a little shocked this flying tank/cannon was not in the list!

 

[smudge58]

Gotta go with the ME262. Just love the lines, seen from the top, reminds me of a shark.

First jet to kill in action!

 

[smudge58]

Another other...Supermarine Spitfire. I know the P51 is better, but damn the Spitfire is just so beautiful.

As for a titanium knife, would probably pick the F-15.

Awesome!

 

[smudge58]

Spitfire, Mosquito, Lancaster and Mustang. Merlin was an engine before he was a wizard.

Hurricane too!

Haha, ”**** ME!”

 

[Mecha]

Some really cool aircraft in this thread, guys. I didn't even know about the BAC Lightning.


So far the SR-71 is way ahead in the poll as the most awesomest airplane, and not undeservedly.

 

[Lorien]

my favourite is actually a chopper

Gonna have to say my favorite chopper is the Huey Cobra. I like how narrow they are.

The Apache is probably the most awesomest though. The RAH-66 Comanche stealth helicopter would have taken the crown it it hadn't been canceled.

Yeah I always liked the Cobra better than the Apache too. But if it was real, I'd take Airwolf!

Blue Thunder was pretty sweet too

 

[Apache64]

I'm going with Apache (preferably AH-64A).
