ValAstur Posted December 16, 2007 Posted December 16, 2007 My favourite plane for WW2 is the A6M Zero. Kicked allies' ass and was unmatched for long time... Cold War's favourite is the F-4 Phantom. Flying Monster armed to the teeth. Modern Plane...undoubtedly the Su-37 Flanker. Sleek but deadly. A flying beauty. Quote
yalcin_42 Posted December 16, 2007 Posted December 16, 2007 my favorite aircraft is F-16C/D because TuAF(turkish air force) use this aircraft.... my favorite cold war aircraft is Phantom II... I dont know why ı love this aircraft... and finally my favorite WWII aircraft is P-47.... Quote
+Gocad Posted December 16, 2007 Posted December 16, 2007 The A-10. Perhaps because it's somewhat of an anachronism, when compared to all those 4th and 5th generation fighters. But none of them would ever be able to fit into the Warthog's shoes. WOV/WOE related I would also mention the F-4 and the F-8. I have had plenty of fun with those two. Quote

In fact in Jun of 2002 I did an article about the Crusader when I wrote for Avsim. USAFMTL's F-8 Crusader Article That pretty much sums it up folks an why I like the Crusader.....because face it, when you're out of F-8's, you're out of fighters. Quote

Well I've never flown any kind of real aircraft so how would I know which was best? If we'er talking 'looks' only I guess I've got to say the Spitfire although the modern jets like the F-16 look great too. From the reports I've read from the pilots who have flown the 'Spit' plus many other different types of airplane they all say the Spitfire was the best of all in handling etc. even compared to modern ones.... so who am I to disagree.

Nesher Posted December 16, 2007 Posted December 16, 2007 It's kinda hard to pick one jet when there are so many to choose from ^_^ I like the American jet's more than the rest, F-15 is my favorite 1 wing landing with no fatal injuries! damn thats one good jet :) Quote
mppd Posted December 16, 2007 Posted December 16, 2007 O.K. I'm in. Favorite is the F-102A Delta Dagger (watched them taxi by and fly from the Connecticut ANG in 1971-72), next F-4s and F-105s I think. Miss those old birds in 3-tone SEA camo. Still waiting for someone to make a WOV/SFP1 deuce - I have tons of serial assgnments and photos for reference. Mike Druzolowski Quote
+hgbn Posted December 16, 2007 Posted December 16, 2007 My favorite is the Mcdonnell F-4II Phantom, mainly because when it got out it was years ahead of everything else, just to bad they did'nt came with an gun to start with.. Quote
Viper6 Posted December 16, 2007 Posted December 16, 2007 To me, if depends on what era your pointing to..WW2? Korea? Nam? Modern?? Broken down by the above criteria, P-51D F-86 F-4 F-15 All time, single favorite, would have to be Phantom. Wrench kevin stein Rgr that!!The list is great but what about that all wooden two engine WWII British bird, she had great speed and could turn on a dime and with those 8 guns in her nose...lawd!

charlielima Posted December 16, 2007 Posted December 16, 2007 (edited) Cruds and SPADS! F-8 is my favorite jet. A1s to zap stuff on the ground. F-105 Thuds are grand to haul iron bombs and RTB quick like. :ph34r: CL Edited December 16, 2007 by charlielima Quote
+MigBuster Posted December 16, 2007 Posted December 16, 2007 Despite having F-111s and A-10s flying over my head nearly every day I totally fell in love with the F-16 as a modern day jet - looks performance, and innovation rolled into one, also designed as a close range dogfighter!! - still going strong nearly 30 years after its first service year!

+Brain32 Posted December 16, 2007 Posted December 16, 2007 Well my primary all time favourite is the F-15A/C Eagle, it's just....perfect. As for others: Ta152H F-86 F-104 Mirage F1 And as for the latest stuff it's probably Jas39 Gripen Quote
Alexander51 Posted December 16, 2007 Posted December 16, 2007 (edited) For me the F-86F Sabre, Hawker Hunter, Mystere IVa and the MiG-15. The early Cold War era jets are fascinating. The Sabre with it's incredibly sleek lines and WW2-style armament and the others with their HUGE cannon. If this is boiled down further, then it would be a tie between the Sabre and the elegant Hunter. Edited December 16, 2007 by MrCraig41 Quote
jazz5150 Posted December 16, 2007 Posted December 16, 2007 Fokker D XXI, Badly outnumbered and outclassed by the luftwaffe they performed admirable in may 1940 above the Netherlands. Same plane, badly outnumbered performed very good in the winter war for Finland. Quote
