Wels 2 Posted April 22, 2009 Hello, " ... If you had to pick your three all time favourite Aircraft, which three would they be? ... " there's a lot, much more than three - the Lébaudy airship, and much more modern aircraft like the Supermarine Spitfire - but for the early ones ... a) The Leva(va?)sseur Antoinette b) The Etrich Taube (?) ;-)) c) L59 Greetings, Catfish Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Test Pilot 0 Posted April 22, 2009 Hmm, tough one. Im new to WWI aviation history so I will seem a bit biased: 1. P-47 2. F4F 3. Any of the Albatross Scouts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baywing 0 Posted April 22, 2009 Wow, that's a really tough one, there are so many. 1. Fokker DR1 2. Sopwith Dolphin 3. 1929 D25 New Standard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bullethead 12 Posted April 22, 2009 #1: The Continental Airlines 747 that flew me home from Desert Storm, and which we utterly trashed in the 10 minutes prior to having to strap in for landing back in the World, all started when the stewardesses started hitting us with pillows #2: The American Airlines 767 that took my ex-wife to the other side of the country and didn't bring her back #3: Piper Tomahawk N3288K, in which I made my 1st solo. Even though I hate "Traumahawks" as a species and had times when I was most unhappy with this one, it behaved itself very well that day Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rooster89 0 Posted April 22, 2009 1. Fokker Dr.1, wanted to pick something different but couldn't, its just my favorite. 2. F4U Corsair, thats Robert Conrad's and the "Black Sheep Squadron" TV show's fault. 3. 1929 New Standard D-25, first plane I ever flew in. -Rooster Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hellshade 110 Posted April 22, 2009 My three favorite aircraft of all time? That's easy: Whatever the last three types I just shot down were. My least favorite? Whatever just shot me down. /salute Hellshade Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Siggi 10 Posted April 22, 2009 Fw190. Dr1. Spitfire (BoB model). I was around five years old when my mother built and painted the old Airfix Dogfight-Double kit, Dr1 & Brisfit, and hung them from the bedroom ceiling. 1965 that was. I was given an early start. I built my own Dr1 and painted it red with a bit of tissue on a stick when I was eight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bullethead 12 Posted April 22, 2009 Ah yes..the aeroplane that single-handedly ended my ambition's of learning to fly!! I don't blame you at all there. That was just a very evil, nasty airplane and a complete waste of aluminum better used as beer cans Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dej 17 Posted April 22, 2009 #2: The American Airlines 767 that took my ex-wife to the other side of the country and didn't bring her back Can I charter that? Anyway, back on topic Breaking the mould... 1) Hawker Hurricane - I love the underdog, Faithful servant, a rugged fighter and the victor of the BoB. 2) Macchi MC202 - Has the look of a fighter, for me, in spades... but the 205 will do too. 3) SE5a - WW1 equivalent of #1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slartibartfast 153 Posted April 23, 2009 Okay here goes as mine would be different too.... Mosquito IV Fighter bomber Blackburn Buccaneer Then it gets hazy - but has to be a toss up between EE Lightning and the F-14 Tomcat had to choose be the....

themightysrc 5 Posted April 23, 2009 Nice question! In no particular order - Siemens Shuckert DIV, Westland Whirlwind and MiG21. I'm also extremely fond of lamb Henry and Moorhouse's Pendle Witch, but I don't think you need to know that. Cheers, Si Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Olham 164 Posted April 23, 2009 Siggi: I was around five years old when my mother built and painted the old Airfix Dogfight-Double kit, Dr1 & Brisfit, and hung them from the bedroom ceiling. Boy - some people can have great parents... A choice of aircraft is difficult, cause I haven't been flying all, even as a simmer only. But from the ones I know: Albatros DIII (in it's time, when it was brand new) Supermarine Spitfire Mk2 (for it's beauty) Focke Wulf 190 D9 (for a great, but late fighter) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Typhoon 5 Posted April 23, 2009 My top 3 Aircraft well here goes: 1. Spitfire. Just because it's a Spitfire 2. Mosquito. Because it did it all. 3. Lancaster. I always loved the Lanc A close runner up was the F86 Sabre. It just looked like a fighter should. Tony Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
