I personally love the A-10 Warthog. It has two huge engines and can really move, it's one of the best attack planes because it can move in at low levels and it carries TONS of weapons. It helped the us win Desert Storm.

But I am also a fan of the F-15c air-to-air combat fighter, and the F-15e duel role strike fighter.

As for my least favorite plane, i don't like the new F-35 coming out because it is cheap and versatile.

I think you mean the p51. But how wise. Many people make the mistake of thinking it is the plane itslef that was fantastic. Before the RAF gave it the Rolls Royce engine it was a fairly average aircraft.

I'm wondering if the Fokker Dr. I. would show up on radar.

THe F-22A Raptor..its the best Multi-Role fighter in the world, but that clasifies as a jet. So, the P-51D Mustang takes my vote as the best fighter airplane.

Favorite: P-51D Mustang
Least: KC-125 Strato-Tanker

The F22 although it can perform some air to ground is primarily an air superiority fighter, not a multi role aircraft. The f25 on the other hand is a multi role.

Fave plane:hawker hurricane
best plane: focke wulf

Uh, a Boeing Airbus? And does it have to be 'Airplane'?

I would say even though airplane is technically a specific type of aircraft, in the context it is a blanket term for anything with fixed wings.

Ah.

I guess then, I have little else to say. Have fun with your Fixed Wing aircrafts.

So no Hindenburg, or Budweiser blimps? Seems awful exclusionary.

I'm guessing no one has heard of any of my three favorites. Shame, they were all gems, but who remembers yesterday...

I remember them. I did so many hours on the history of the RAF, in IOT, how could i forget.

I have a fondness for the Fokker Dr. I. Wicked turn radius (to the right), and an over all interesting plane, despite it's flaws.


Undoubtedly proved itself against the inferior RAF Sopwiths. Solid machine for its time.

The blackbird was incredible for having stealth as early in the 20th century as it did, and its speed was phenomenal, plus it looked bad@ss.

The bronco is a very interesting aircraft from a pilots perspective as the sorties you would fly would test a wide variety of skills, from ground attack, reconnaissance to troop deployment and pick up.
