Pick one plane...

So your HD is about to be wiped, the internet is gone forever, and you only have time to save one plane.

boy hat's a tough one, and a wise choice on your part...

I'm thinking my Decathalon would be my frst choice.. :-) Nice enough to tool around in, and ready and able to do limited aerobatics... :-)

You're right, it's not an easy call....

Lately I have had a lot of pleasure out of the Hawker Tempest -  just looking at it straightens my day out.

However, if you were to ask me again in a months time, who would know....?

Not a hard choice. Beechcraft King Air 350.

Well.... I like all of the choices so far but if I had to choose I think I would go with the Lear45 with the playboy textures.

Difficult choice - not sure I could settle for just one aeroplane.  I'd like to keep at least one fast single, one prop twin, and one jet.

For the single, Mustang P51D - Merlin engine AND a 1,500-mile range.

The twin would be the Aerostar 700 - can't agree about the default Beech, I don't find it 'challenging', just plain 'un-trimmable'.

For the jet, De Havilland Comet 4.

If it had to be just one, I'd choose the Comet.  Something irresistible about an airliner that will cruise at Mach 0.74, has enough range to cross the Atlantic, and combines beautiful handling with a landing speed of 110 knots......  :)

For me I would stick with the Airbus A319 with cabin crew sounds and GPWS.

Tricky choice between the learjet 45 or the 737-500 (freeware)
The learjets easy to fly and fast
it looks good but the 737-500 while its still good is one of my favourites but i always get  alot of turbulence with it


so its the LEARJET45!!!!

Not sure if NAV meant Mike Stone's Aerostar 700, but that would be my choice...it has that FTF (fun-to-fly) factor......best,

Yes, Terry, Mike Stone's Aerostar.

But as you will know, Mike is stronger on airframes than on panels.

Does it count if I have the plane on a cd? :P

I'd go for the PMDG 737NG, without a doubt!

Don't mind me. I was simply making an observation. ;)

It's Kevin's thread & he makes the rules. I just enjoy winding him up. Hi Kev. :P :P ;D 8)
