I feel it very hard to chose between the Spit, F4U and P-51 :?

Lately i mostly use the Corsair so i'll go for that one ;)

Nemesis NXT! Very familiar with that bird. 400mph on 350-400hp O0

Designed by a team of Skunk Works and SCALED Composites engineers lead by Jon Sharp of Nemesis Air Racing for the Sport Class at Reno.

The Lancair IV is also a great cruiser..she does have some quirks which people ignore (fatally) but she is FAST (400mph+ in prop-jet config) and solid.

A lot of stuff to pick from. I favor the p-51 for cloud blasting but the Lockheed Connie is my pick for a smooth sounding big bird....I remember being sung to sleep by her as a child coming home from West Germany in 1957. :D :) :lol:

My vote goes to the de Havilland Mosquito. Although I really like the P-51, F-4U, Hurricane & Spitfire my first love is the Mossie. :happy-cheerleaderkid:

If it moves and it's not supposed to - use the Duct Tape.

The Hawker Sea Fury has always been one of my favourites.

My "favorite" aircraft is different from what I consider the "Most Beautiful Airplane".

Unless the SR71 is seen close up, and in real life, it's unimaginable.

Pictures really do not do it justice.

As I said, it's not a favorite FSX plane, but it is beautiful in real life.
