Favorite Aircraft
Thought it might be good to have a audiance participation thread on here.
Simple question. What is your favorite aircraft and why ? This could be an aircraft that you have flown on, are the pilot of, or just a plane that has a special spot. To get the ball rolling my favorite modern day aircraft would have to be the PC-12 as its efficient, has great lines and performance and a great avionics suite. Past Aircraft I can't go past the P-51 Mustang for pure sound and performance.

Favorite:
1st- 747-300 i love listening to the old Qantas(any airline in fact) 300's roar especially when i got a return SYD-PER-SYD flight for the day on 2.(EBX, EBW) Deffinatly be a shame seeing them dissapear. 2nd- Airbus A340-600 because of their shear grace as the silently cruise past and how they're sooooo long. I will fly on a 2 Virgin Atlantic to HGK in November which i cant wait for. This is my 18th B'day prezzie. Least Favorite: 1st- 737-800 Sorry to anyone who likes the 737 but i think that there are to many in and out of SYD and im sick of them  2nd- I cant say that i really dislike any other aircraft i dont think.

Helicopter:
BELL 412 reason for this is just the sound of those 4 rotor blades slapping the air plus u can hear them from a mile away.Commercial: BOEING 747-400 reason being is that when the rotate the look so good climbing away from the runway. Fighter: F/A 18 HORNET just due to fact that the are such good fighter planes in the way that they can turn so sharply etc
