My favorites are the Jug, the P-43 Lancer and the P-36 hawk; I have recently been interested in pre-World War II aircraft. Not much can go wrong with a B-17 Flying Fortress.

Hey All,

Welcome Storm!

Long as I'm here I'll answer. First I note we've no idea if your talking favorite in FS or favorite in real life or what but that said. In real life as a kid I was always intrigued by a V-tail Bonanza and a Mooney at the local airport. Later I realized that bush planes especially the 185 were cool. Today I most admire the Kodiak and the PC-12. So I would say I like a few and probably the 185, Kodiak and PC-12 top the list.

These three, I just love the SU30 MKI with a passion though!

Favourite Aircraft

Three probably ? Focke-Wulf Ta-152, Bloch MB-157, Hawker Tempest V and now it's four "cause I forgot one - Republic XP-47J Thunderbolt
 
Ever since I climbed aboard a B-52 at Dow Air force in Bangor Maine during a tour for us as Cub Scouts in the early sixties I have had a passion for the bomber.
 
favorite plane I have flown for real is the Piper Comanche. I have a few favorites from experiencing them in FS. If I won the lotto and could buy any plane, i would get the SF-260 :)
 
Hogs Rule! F4U Corsair, mostly the 4's and 5's. I thought the Super Corsair was too little too late.

Next to the "Hog" I am very fond of the Hawker Sea Fury, FB11 variant. I love sitting "In the lap of the Beast".

BB686:USA-flag:
 
In no particular order Fw190A, Do24K/T(ATT), Bf109(F), Bf110(E), Me410, He111, He219, Arado196.
Basically everyting with one or more piston engines and metric steam gauges in it.:salute::wavey:
 
Strangely enough

Who would have thunk it? My all time favorite plane is the ,(drumroll) unsung hero of the The Battle of Britain and World War II ,the Hawker Hurricane

"Anything that flies without flapping!"

As long as it's self powered and leaves the ground for extended periods, I'm there! Although, I do prefer that it not simply "beat the air into submission" and that it has a glide ratio better than that of a brick!:monkies:
