F/A-18 Hornet (mostly because I used to work on them ), but I like flying the Corsair and Mustang online against friends (I guess I should say enemies).

Anyone fly IL-2 ? It's a kick.

Always had a love for the A-10's Living in Kansas City and having them housed there I got to see them all the time.

I've been a huge fan of the P-38's and P-47's too!

Saw my first C-5 at Fort Cambell when my sis was stationed there, it was just crazy to see something that massive in the air

Without a doubt the A10 is my fav. plane. Its simple, tough, and packs a metric butt-ton of woop-ass; all for right around a million a plane. It is hard to believe that the military was going to get rid of it just before the first Gulf War because it was not high-tech enough.

Second would have to be the F-14, it just looks cool. Plus, it is amazing that a plane that big can out manuever smaller aircraft.

Third is the B-17, the German pilots said attacking one was like making love to a porcupine.

Forth is the SR-71, 'nuff said.

Last, the Mig 29, that plane has no problems going toe-to-toe with any fighter in production.

I like just about every single one posted. Another one of my favs is the Flanker family.






And for fictional planes.
