Thread: What’s your favorite plane?

XB-70 Valkyrie

There are so many great planes, to have to pick one is tough. On the general aviation front, the Beechcraft Starship was pure sex. Too bad it didn't do well in the market.

Does this give any clues?

I think it depends on how many think Kelly Johnson, Ben Rich and Willis Hawkins are still in charge?

Old DC-7. Nothing like the sound of a piston engine and a prop. When I finally become wealthy, I am going to buy one and convert the plain into something modern but keep the piston and props and look of the plain.

Umm, it's a plane.

Commercial: Concorde, after I gave up on flying for the Military this was my next plane I wanted to fly.
Private Jet: Citation X
Single engine prop: Piper Malibu Meridian
"Toy" plane: P-51D or L39
Helicopter: Huey
Military plane: F22 or B1 for the longest time I wanted to fly the B1, bad ass plane.
