I like all airplanes, and its really hard to pick a favorite.  But on the top of my list is definately the P-38 and Geebee.  Really what I was trying to ask is if in real life you could have any plane you wanted, but you could only have one, what would it be.

Yup, my original still stands, if I won the lottery tomorrow (REALLY big win mind you) i'd still have the DC3, as long as it came with a load of spares!

After a while, mine has changed.  Duggy is my favorite.  He makes me smile, and helps me truly appreciate the amazing design of the DC-3

.........so many here have missed the question....... ???

Really what I was trying to ask is if in real life you could have any plane you wanted, but you could only have one, what would it be.


.....my response was that "I would be happy to be able to fly almost anything" .......give me one of anything, and then I'm happy........ 8)

Though ive never really actually flown either of the two in real life... i tend to like the Dehavilland Beaver and the Beechcraft King Air the most.

I also like any Cessna products
Cheers,

It's been phazed out for a while now, but the All Weather Medium Attack Bada$$ of the fleet, The A-6E Tram Intruder will always have a soft spot in my heart. You could weld 4 compact cars to the wings and she would still take off. ;D

Death from above.


Fighter pilots made movies, bomber pilots made history. ;D
