Favorite Military Aircraft

[Giancarlo]

To cool things down further here... what is your favorite military aircraft?

My favorite is the F-22 or Eurofighter 2000 Typhoon.

What about you?

i like the osprey. no really did you know that the U.S. defence budget could feed the entire world 10 times over? think about it.

[Giancarlo]

There are tons of problems on the Osprey, horrible computer glitches and now some other problems with the program itself.

MiG-29 Fulcrum :)

I also like the AMX, this aircraft is built by Italian and Brazilian Industries and is not widely known though it has characteristics like the F-15.

i like that one with the huge---- cannons with bullets like a 30 pound shotput at 200 rounds per second, and the 5,000 mega-ton bombs... goes around kicking everyone's ---, and it's made of that special metal that never dents or gets blown up. yeah, that's definitely my favorite.

The U.S.S. Defiant - NX-74205

The Lockheed X-22A antigravity fighter

I like the stealth bomber especially the way that it can be detected using mobile phones :D

My all time favorite is the Republic F-105 Thunderchief (Thud), followed by the North American F-86 Sabre. Although the Canadair built version of the Sabre was a bit better.

You think the X-Wing looks futuristic from Star Wars? I think not. I will show you guys that the future is already here:

This is what I drive: http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ac/ef0002.jpg ... easy to get to a resturant... if the parking lot is empty I will land, the F/A-18 is very verstile in landing. Hehe.

[bigperm]

Racing rims are phat... I wish I had a pic of my car...

[Archbob]

In real life I still like the F-16 fighting Falcon.

In fanatasy terms though it'd have to be the Vorlon Squid fighters from Babylon 5. Organic fighters, very cool.

[polestar]

RAF Harrier Jump Jet :p

[whatevah]

I like the A-10 ... it can lose half of its wing, one engine, and still get back to base...

the F-22 is cool, too.

and, lets not forget the "Aurora".. aka the X-43 space plane. if you see how the engines on the X-43 are, and the way the "Aurora" has been reported to be... they are the same.. well, the Aurora could be any ramjet powered plane, I guess...
