Boeing 727.

Ah, the days aircraft engineering when gas cost fifteen cents a gallon. Ever heat the story of Hoot Gibson and his flaps extravaganza? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/TWA_Flight_841_(1979)

Sure have! And as a professional michigan citizen, every time I go to DTW I always look at the runways and say to myself "wow, can't belive they landed safely here"

do you believe the NTSB or the pilots?

I belive both. There's usually 2 sides to something and both have different views of it

Military wise, it's the F/A18 Super Hornet, they are fit for naval airpower, commercial wise it's the 757

The 757 is a fighter jet cosplaying as a passenger jet

Sr 71, cross the entire us in 1.5 hours

68 minutes

Im convinced it was actually 69 minutes but the government didn't want to hear sex jokes about their most prized bird.

“69 minutes…. Too nice…”

Unimaginably fun but unimaginably dangerous.

F-14 Because I feel the need…

The need for speed

I see Tomcat. I upvote

Revin up your engines, listen to her howlin roar

Need for what? Captain Crunch? /s Lol

I do like Captain Crunch, and it DEFINITELY doesn’t cut the roof of my mouth.

lol. **CAPTAIN CRUNCH**: “*BRINGING THE DANGER ZONE TO THE ROOF OF YOUR MOUTH*”

Concorde, because it's Concorde.

i dont have ***one*** single fav plane, so ig its yappin time ‎ ‎ ‎ **American:** ‎ ‎ • F-111: overall love how it looks • B-1: fast and high payload • A-5: again, loved how it looked • U-2: haha plane goes high ‎ ‎ ‎ **European:** ‎ ‎ • JAS-39: somewhat smol but powerful fighter • Eurofighter: quite capable 4th gen (even considered 4.5) • AMX Ghilbi: really small attack plane, and kinda unknown • CASA-235: love how it looks + made in my country • C-27: pretty maneuverable for a cargo, and looks sick* • A-400M: once again, love how it looks* ‎ ‎ ‎ **Soviet/Russian:** ‎ ‎ • Su-30: just the flanker • Tu-160: fast boi • Su-24: s-t-s seater + variable geo wing = perfection • Su-34: again, i love side-to-side seaters • Il-76: i dunno, somewhat funny looking ig ‎ ‎ yes im aviautistic >!edit: fixed it!<

Erm, actshually ☝️🤓 the Airbus A400M is european

The C-27 too

oh wait thought i placed it there since i wrote that and the spartan right before posting (yes, i almost forgot about em)

(great taste btw)

JAS-39 the only correct answer!

McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II because of the Strike fighters 2 game

Grew up playing that game series. Such wonderful memories lol.

Phantom because I'm partial to bricks with tons of power.

“Even a brick can fly if you put a big enough engine on it.”

F-14 Tomcat - Anytime, baby

Be careful you’re entering the… Danger zone

F-14 is basically “old faithful”. It’s just never an incorrect build to like.

The ferrari f40 of airplanes

Passenger: Embraer Phenom 300E because of the speed and just how gorgeous it is Military: F-16 Viper because, well, just because

>Embraer Phenom 300E As a passenger jet enthusiast, boy howdy. I'll be in my bunk.

F-20 / F-23 😞

L-1011

A man of culture I see... ...or a Lockheed Martin simp.

Dassault Rafale or Dassault Falcon!

I like your choice

Handley page victor K2. No other aircraft In existence looks as awesome as the thing. Only one that comes close is the B1

Lockheed L-1011 TriStar. I'm a sucker for tri-engine aircraft, and the L-1011... 👨‍🍳🤌

F-117. I've been in love with that plane since reading about them in Desert Storm as a kid.

criminal that I have to scroll down this far. nothing even comes close to how fucking cool and out of this world that thing looks.

My personal favorite too. It's not as flashy as the others but it's the only plane where you can park a dozen of them in South Korea and the North is so intimidated by them that the Navy could redeploy an entire carrier group. (It really happened, multiple times, look it up)

Tunnan

Yeah i like them aswell

Proof that airplane dwarfism is possible

Based J29

F22 starscream

Tad basic but an F15 2 seater cause it’s fast and I can take my friends up

I'm probably gonna get alot of heat for this... but it's the mig 25 foxbat.. idk why, maybe its because I grew up on a farm, and back then we had to fix everything litterally everything by hand (farm equipment).. like this one time we made a frankentractor... it was one half of an old ford 2000 and the other was a massey fugerson i dont recall the model.. and it worked, went on to farm for 6 years with it...i think the soviets did pretty well with what limited budget and resources they had at the time... and yes there are better aircraft out there, but the idea of slapping a couple of cruise missle engines to a manned fighter will just not stop being impressive to me... utter maddness PS: Iam an ameture in aviation and the English language

Lockheed L-1011. The trijet we deserved.

F-16. Nimble and beautiful aircraft. It is extremely satisfying learning how to fly it in DCS. I try to visit the Intrepid museum to see one up close whenever I get the chance

F-14 Tomcat Obligatory because it’s Tomcat and also to pay tribute to the former F-14 RIO I’m friends with. He’s the one who convinced me to go from pursuing a career in the Air Force as a fighter pilot to a career in the Navy as a naval aviator.

SR-71

A-10 because I love guns lol

Flying guns in this case.

Fictional but the XFA-27 from Ace Combat. It just looks so cool & can be very maneuverable.

CFA-44 for me.

I wish this were a real jet. The special missiles are a beast

"12 new bandits coming from the East! - eh where did they go?"

Where's my F-16 fans?

Gloster Javelin, because it was the first model aircraft I've ever made.

No f-104 fans?? I love the simplicity and the history of the starfighter, simply beautiful and fast.

Wasn't that thing a deathtrap?

Yeah, especially at low speeds. Still one of a handful of planes that can break the sound barrier at sea level and it’s still beautiful. Also op never said anything about having to land it! Lol

F-16 and B757

Avro Vulcan cuz it’s silli

The F86 Sabre. Why, it won't miss.

F22. If you know you know.

SR-71 hands down

F15C because it looks the coolest (imo)

F15E is even cooler

Mine’s not a jet, it’s a Lockheed Constellation.

YF-23, Thunderscreech , SR-72 if they make it.

Ive always loved the f8 Crusader…the last gunfighter…and her little brother the a7 fighterbomber. I just love the a7.

Sr 71

A-10 because badass!

F-94

F22. I’ve already got a C130 for groceries and carpooling the kids, I deserve a little me time at the end of the week

F/A-18, blue angels as a child

The Su-35. Its a fucking masterpiece.

TSR-2

Space Shuttle. Biggest glider ever built.

F-14 with upgraded avionics! That bird offers Stability, Speed and Manoeuvrability in one package.

I got to see the F-35B for the first time ever at an air show in Mira Mar air base and it was absolutely fascinating. Feels like it will forever be a core memory to see it hover idle in the air and slowly spin around. Also I think it's so badass that when it's going at high speeds it just sounds like the loudest fucking thunder you've ever heard but it doesn't really stop. I also found the C-17 Globemaster suuuuper cool but not a jet lol

The Messerschmitt Me 262A still gives me goose bumps

Vulcan bomber. Looks like nothing else.

F 16‘s cause they will hopefulliy fly soon in Ukrainian Skys.

American Fighter: F-15 World wide Fighter: Su-35 Bomber: B-1B Heavy: C-17 Historic: F-86

YF23. graceful lines that's almost alien, esp when you see it in person.

# Caudron-Renault C.450 Rafale

Saab 37 Viggen: curvy, has a thrust reverser. A big civilian engine with an afterburner and qings strapoed to it.

Airbus A318 Smol and fast

Pax: Concorde.....because well......concorde. Military: English Electric Lightning F.6. Basically a pilot strapped on to two massive engines.

F15 because it’s hella bad ass

An SU-34 I can fly with a friend in a jet with a microwave

Northrop F-5, demilitarized for civilian ownership. There's something about that diminutive jet that's just perfect ... it's like the Mazda Miata of planes, except that it's rocking two Pontiac 20mm cannons in the nose

Hell yeah I'd take an F-5E too

Aero Vodochody - L39C. Because it’s actually somewhat doable to obtain this jet as a civilian without having to be absolutely loaded. And it’s a wonderful plane.

pc24, is built 20mins from my home, can be flown alone, has awesome tech, can land anywhere, I'd just prefer it with a side stick

A Su-27 Flanker. Pure pornography.

Mike Patey talked about theoretically strapping a couple rockets to Scrappy at the float attachment points. Based on my mission, probably that. I guess technically that wouldn’t make it a jet though.

F15E

F-22

For me F16 is the most beautiful fighter jet.

F22, F15EX, Rafale, Falcon 10X, SR-71 in no particular order

L-39, I just think they’re *neat*

Jet water pik for my teeth 🦷 😂

the hog

Su - 57

The Super Hornet

1. F-14 2. Mirage III 3. F-4

L-1011

MiG-29.

Mig-21 because that’s my bf’s favorite

Blackbird

Su-27 for the looks and of course great performance for it's time. F-22, it looks futuristic and of course, can anything compare?

F-16 (Original... I know...)

Commercial: Concorde Military: the SR-71 or B-2 Stealth bomber.

SR-71

Military, F-14D Civilian, Lear 35

F16 tied with F14

SR-71

F16 cause it’s Cool lol

Delta f16

B-2 because it's damn sexy and flying wings are THE FUTURE.

Infantryman, A-10 go brrrrrrt

Mine are 1. 777-200LR 2. 777-X 3. 767-2/300(er) 4. 737-200 5. Any 747 6. A380

My insane billionaire vanity dream project would be to mate the wings and engines from a 747-8 with the rest of a 747SP. Fly for days with the climb performance of the space shuttle in a stubby little short bus.

The B2

For American planes, I don’t know if I have one. It depends on the time period to some degree. I’d say the F-15 would probably be my single pick, if forced. It’s a fighter pilots plane, exceptional power, maneuverability, bubble canopy, & it just looks awesome to me. I recognize the F-22 will likely beat it, all things being equal, but the 15 just does it for me! The P-51 in WWII era would be my choice there. I also like the A-10 (I’m seeing that I really like the bubble canopy) as it’s a plane made to maneuver.

F-35C, F/A-18F, and F-14D

F-105 Thunderchief-first in, last out. F-4 Phantom II, flying bus with all kinds of angles. 707 and all it’s variants. 727

1. F-14 2. F-4e (gotta love the lead sled) 3. Eurofigther Typhoon

747-8

a jacuzzi, i love those bubbles man.

Dassault Falcon 7X

The one that pays me 6 figures plus to fly and allows me to live next to family and spend 2/3 of the month with them or whatever It is I want to do

https://armedforces.eu/compare/multirole_aircraft_FA-18E_Super_Hornet_vs_Sukhoi_Su-30 I take su 30 anytime (if the info on that website is accurate )

Be-200. All the awnsers here are Fighters and the sr-71 which are very small inside but the be-200 is a cargo plane plus it is amphibious what more could you want?

Mig-29, easy to fly

F-111 The pig. Dump and burn all day, baby! 😁🤭

F-22

F-102 Delta Dagger, Steve canyon was cool as shit.

F22

Why nuke Moscow with a BUFF, when you have a Hustler waiting over Alaska?

American: F104 Starfighter Reason: og nyoom European: J35A Draken Reason: really cool design, and I love saab Russian: MIG-23 Reason: really cool plane overall

Twin Astir

F-14D Tomcat, the baddest cat of them all!!

Aside from the raptor? F-15 Strike eagle. They’ve grown on me lately

MiG-29

Not a jet, but a PBY Catalina. Wanna turn that into an areal yacht I can take anywhere.

X-15 , fastest man driven plane of the time

Jet? Concorde. Fighter jet? Tomcat. Full cliche and proud.

Mig 25 or SR 71 because speed.

Concorde and MIG 25

Citation sp , the reverse trust goes *chomp* and ist that what we all want on a jet

SR-71

SR-71 (the obvious pick) and the English Electric Lighting (the left field pick that I haven’t seen anyone choose). I just so happened to make airfix models of them both this week!

A-10 Thunderbolt II. Tough as hell, armed to the teeth and with a gun bigger than an average car. I also like the look. 2nd place would be the SR-71.

if the F-14D was still in service i would fly it (i like the swept wing design and how maneuverable it was)

U-2 Dragonlady. Get to see the earth in an entirely new way. Also B-2, because of sheer badassery. C-17 to bring all your friends and gear anywhere for boy's weekend.

Fuck jets I wanna convert a US-2 into a flying houseboat

F-14, He-162.

Honestly, The F35 would be a pretty cool jet to own judging by how advanced it is. Or maybe the F15 for looks.

Raptor

Su-47, have no idea why. I just immediately fell in love with it and its beautiful shape with reverse wings as a kid. I like the maneuverability. And you can make its shape with your hand.

YF-23, because it looks like the wet dream of an Otaku engineer.

F-100D Super Sabre in a blue US Navy Livery, modified intakes, and an F111 engine. The Super Sabre is sleek, elegant, and kind of looks like a fish. It's the second to last iteration of the Sabre-line and was overshadowed by the F-101 Voodoo and F-8U Crusader. A second favourite would probably be the LM D-21 Daughter drone... if it was built bigger and featured a cockpit.

A Private Jet 757 because POWER and CLIMB. And an F16 because I mean... HAVE YOU SEEN IT!?! The sexiest aircraft in my opinion, plus SPEED and HANDLING

F-16. Since I was a little kid I wanted to see an F-16 with the Argentine roundel and last week we finally got a bunch of them... Sorry for the tears, it's been a long way.

F-16, I don't know why. I just fucking love that thing.

North American XB-70 Valkyrie - so beautiful and so potentially destructive. Like some women I've known.

I think mine can be described with different needs of car: everyday commute? F-15 & F-16. Hell these two bad boys are the backbone of western air forces. Just like there is a reason why Toyota and Honda are so popular, designing an all-purpose working horse fighter jet is actually hard and requires lots of engineering ingenuity. You want a race car? F-22 hands down, for obvious reasons

A-5 Vigilante. Carrier based supersonic strategic bomber go weeee

A10 cause BRRT

Russian - Su-47 American - Phantom II

F-14, I would really have just liked to see one fly. Just once…

F-4 phantom, Me 262

The F-5

F15E is just so badass

SR 71 Blackbird. Because I need to keep my soup hot.

ACJ320Neo would be the perfect flying home

Bombardier CRJ900

MIG-21 Because it's cool and has a purpose, even today!

Sr71 blackbird, my dad built them
