Favorite 5 Aircraft- All Eras Allowed.

[HealzDevo]

Great to see the response of you all. I posted this topic as a little bit of a general aviation quizz. I just like the AH-64D Apache Longbow because it has fire-behind cover capabilities and the ability to designate zones where all you have to do is press the button to fire a radar-guided hellfire and the missiles and radar do all the work for you. I have the game Longbow Anthology which I bought for a Windows 98 Computer I had and am now hoping to get it running properly under XP. It is the coolest!! If ever you get the opportunity to buy Longbow 1 or 2 do it, as you won't regret it.

Here is a shot of it Les. It was made in the 30s for an oil executive transport. She's a beauty, with all the luxury accomodations inside.

 

[cheddar cheese]

Actually thats a pretty nice looking plane 8)

 

[evangilder]

There was actually a military version of it as well, called the UC-71, so I guess it could classify as a warbird as well.

You are biased...

If there were ten, it wouldn't be all German WWII planes.

 

[cheddar cheese]

[The Jagdflieger Pips]

6) Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird
7) Ilyushin 2
8.) Grumman F-14 Tomcat
9) Mitsubishi A6M Zero
10) Supermarine Spitfire.

Eh, I love WWII planes.

 

[cheddar cheese]

Me too, im not a fan of more modern planes

 

[HealzDevo]

That is why I made this all eras, Military and Civil and included helicopters as planes, because the first helicopters were basically designed very similar to planes. This thread is going better than I had hoped.

 

[cheddar cheese]

Can we include airships/blimps/zeppelins; whatever you wanna call them?

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

and technically helicopters are aircraft..............

 

[cheddar cheese]

Yup, and so are airships

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

actually no they're not, an aircraft as to be a powered, heavier than air, craft, airships are lighter than air.................

 

[Nonskimmer]

To be technical, any machine that flies is an aircraft. It doesn't necessarily require an engine.
Hot air balloons, blimps, zeppelins, gliders...all are "aircraft".

 

[cheddar cheese]

Yeah...Some airships have propellors too y'know; to make em faster...

 

[Nonskimmer]

Yeah, I know. I was just giving examples of "aircraft".
