Yesterday I recieved some FAA paperwork in the mail that I have been waiting on for a while now. Without it, I was unable to work in the non-military side of my career field. All in all, I am ecstatic and can now continue doing what I love (and get paid beaucoup bucks to do so!) So with this giveaway, post your favorite airplane (or helicopter) and why. A winner will be chosen at random on Monday. Only rule is that the aircraft must have existed and flown (NO CONCEPTS.) I'll start: SR-71. If you don't know what it is, look it up. It's an amazing aircraft that edges that border to spacecraft. Why would the X-men pick anything but the best to be their plane of choice? The best part is, is that it was concieved and created DECADES ago.
M8, gotta love the MH-6 Little Bird, small, fast, and used for special operations, despite it's size it says that a small guy can be used for big things xD
A wright flyer as it was the first plane and it just looks too comical for me in black and white which makes me enjoy even it more.
Unfortunately I don't know the name of many planes, but the concept of fighter jets has always interested me. We weaponized everything else, so planes were a natural continuation of that. Looking up specific ones, I think I like the first fighter jet, the Me 262, as it was borne out of WWII and was the most well-known during that time.
I love the Hueys/Cobras. We had a squadron of them come in for some exercises. It was definitely interested mixing them into a pattern full of fast moving fixed wing aircraft. Mine too! His platoon was in the movie "Toy Soldiers". He always told me that he was the one to repel through the windows. I only recently found out that while he did the shot, another one was chosen for the scene. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=aircraft Pick one if you want some points! I would suggest the De Havilland DH2T. They gave it a nickname thats an homage to your mother.
"Boeing 747" --> final destination .... : p or maybe a "stealth fighter" .... or a "apache helicopter" becasue that thing fucks shit up ...
