Paul... 8-)...!

Wow that's quite a list! I'm surprised the MiG-21 was in last place. It's only the most successful fighter in the world.

This is a cool link! Thanks for sharing Fozzer  ... It might take me a little while to scroll through them all but defiantly will.

Depends on your meaning of successful. The most mass produced and one of the most shot down too.....

Aye Fozzer. Look at the C150; there's probably more of them than anything else. It certainly doesn't make it the best 2 seat trainer aeroplane ever built. Most popular perhaps, but not best.

I think the cub and DC-3 should be swapped.  The list isn't best airplane, it's most influential.  I'd argue that the DC-3 is far and away the most influential aircraft of all time.

I suspect, that like motor cars, motor bikes, etc, each ones favourite Aeroplane will be the one that he-she took their first "Trial Flight" in... ...!

For me, it was my local Club's Cessna 152, which seemed so easy, and forgiving to fly, and seemed to make a perfect trainer!
...and I was always taken with the Club's Cessna 150 Aerobat, which proudly sports a label on the engine cowling, advertising the Rolls-Royce Continental engine tucked inside!
Because of that memory, most of my Flight Sim explorations, (and fun!), involve the use of my little Cessna 150/152's!
For others it will be a Piper Warrior, etc, trainer, (or, for one of our Senior Members, a Gypsy-engined DH Tiger Moth!).... ...!

As one of life's survivors, I always like flying (imaginary) Aircraft that I feel perfectly comfortable with, and I feel are not going to kill me before my allotted time on this Earth!... ...!
(They don't call me "Captain Sensible" for nothing!...)... 8-)...!

I even take great care riding my Motor-Bikes, nowadays!... ...!

Have Cessna, will travel... [smiley=thumbsup.gif]...!

Fozzer...
I think that nickname is meant sarcastic...

Corsair higher on the list than the Spitfire?  :-?

[quote]Corsair higher on the list than the Spitfire?

Even worse than Corsair being higher than the Spit is the fact that the Sunderland, Catalina, Halifax & Lancaster aren
