Semi-Daily Topic: Airplanes

What is your favourite type of Aircraft?
My favorite aircraft is the Hughes H-4 Hercules…
But people might know it as the Spruce Goose (although it was mostly birch).
Why do you like this aircraft so much?
It’s the largest flying boat every built. With the largest wingspan ever. From wood. What’s not to love?
Is there an aircraft that you have not flown but want to fly?
I’d love to fly in the Spruce Goose (although it will never fly again)
What is your least favourite Aircraft?
Angry puppy
What is your favourite aircraft company. E.G. Airbus, Boeing etc.

Favourite Aircraft: Airbus A319
Why: It is…interesting…landing in an A319 in a strong crosswind at an airport like Jersey.
Want to fly: Airbus A340
Worst Aircraft: Airbus A320 - It’s too normal!
Favourite Manufacturer: If I really had to pick one, it would have to be BAe. Their Avros are very cool, sturdy, and reliable, and who doesn’t like a jet with 4 engines?

BTW, I don’t have a lot of choice in what jets I pick. I’ve only flown on A319s, A320s, 737-400s, and 737-800s. Sadly… :sob:

Why you just plucked my answers as well.

Though I agree with @pderuiter regarding the Spruce Goose.

Favourite Aircraft: Airbus A318
Why: It is a small airplane
Want to fly: Airbus A350
Worst Aircraft: Airbus A320 - It’s too simple
Favourite Manufacturer: Airbus

No problem, there are different questions-mostly :wink:

Guys, just for a little bit of fun, I’m changing it to Daily Topics!!!

What is your favourite type of Aircraft?
Fokker 100
Why do you like this aircraft so much?
I just like the design of it. Also its a pleasure to fly in. Sadly they are being retired.
Is there an aircraft that you have not flown but want to fly?
I would like to fly in something big and small like A350 and Saab 2000
What is your least favourite Aircraft?
Short 360, that thing looks like caravan with wings.
What is your favourite aircraft company. E.G. Airbus, Boeing etc.
As a proud european I choose Airbus.

You’d hate the grand caravan (referring to your least favourite plane)

Favourite aircraft: B738
Why: it’s just a nice slick smooth plane to fly.
Aircraft to fly in: (I’m taking this as ones I want to fly in instead of ones I want to pilot) B787 A350 Spitfire and a225.
Aircraft I don’t like: a320 (and family) it’s a lovely plane to fly in but in the cockpit it’s just not right… First of all where’s the yoke? I don’t want some piddly side stick (same for you Mr. A380) and I also hate fly by wire I like the natural feel of a good yoke. Second of all the old series didn’t really have wing tips. And thirdly it’s a B738 rip off grumble grumble * grumble* (rant over)
Favourite manufacturer: I’m British… I like bae but unfortunately they haven’t released a civil plane inmy life so yeah… Not them. Airbus I think is a copycat Boeing made the 737 Airbus a320 Boeing 747 Airbus A380 Boeing 787 Airbus a350 they do it after Boeing release their plane so therefore ill go with Boeing.

favorite aircraft: A321
why: Because it reminds me of my favorite vacation.
I want to fly: A330,B777
Worst Aircraft: DC11
Favourite Manufacturer: Pilatus Aircraft

What is your favourite type of Aircraft?
Northrop/MD FA/18
Why do you like this aircraft so much?
Its a sexy looking military jet
Is there an aircraft that you have not flown but want to fly?
I assume you mean fly on and not actually fly, in that case the 787
What is your least favourite Aircraft?
A380, some ugly thing
What is your favourite aircraft company. E.G. Airbus, Boeing etc.
Boeing

Just out of interest does anyone think the beluga is ugly or good looking?

Very ugly

If the Beluga is ugly look at the Airbus SkyLink
