Spitfire. No ifs, no buts!
But other stuff I love include the new Gazelle, Typhoon, Rafale, and Concorde models.
In the bi-plane dept. I love the Tiger Moth and Stearman.
Heck if it flies I like it ;D

Definately the Dassault Falcon 50,

I'm growin attached to the 747 now... Still suck at it, but I'm gettin there!

This wasn't the question, but I've always hated the Learjet... Doesn't have good flight dynamics, you have to be goin about 200 knots when you get to the runway    :P

I love the Dassault Falcon 50 too, It wreaks of class - I dont know how they made it but it wins my vote by miles. Make sure you change the sound from the Learjet .....eugh.....
My favorite military plane ('s) is (are) the High vis Tomcat (sooooo nice to look at in flyby veiw), Red Arrows Hawk,
I also like the TLUK Blackhawk and Little Bird.
 I also like the default 737 'American Pacific airways'.
Crazycraig - What Tornado do you use, the one I have is not a pretty sight......

 The Dessault Falcon 50 gets my vote too, I use it a lot, I also like the Greatest Airliners payware 737.
I haven't had much chance to check out the Ready for Pushback 747's yet, considering that I have been flying between these third world rinky-dink airstrips in my Misadventures, when I reach civilization I will get back in the bigger planes.
 But I find the Dessault to be useful for most anything, and it's a pleasure to fly.
Still no linked images allowed around here Paz! Naughty...

Hi

In the real world it s the Lockheed Blackbird SR-51, I just love that shear power  8)

As for planes in FS2002, I'm still undecided, I've only been flying a week and theres loads of planes I havn't tried yet.

Well back to the joystick  ::)

Mine would have to be.....wait for it the Defult Baron 58.

Now before you all go up in arms that I have chosen a Microsfot aircraft then you are wrong. Sure it is Microsoft designed but FSD and other freeware designer updated! I have got the FSD Twins FDE update to make it a TC model which really gives it grunt...ie my best is 272kts at 23000ft in stable air. It also handles amazingly realisticly as I have flown in a real Baron.

It may be old and outdated as far as FS goes but it ius still my favourite.
