Top 3 Aircraft
Discussion
Name your top 3 aircraft & reasons why......in no particular order mine are:
Lockheed F-104 Starfighter - awesome howl & nose up attitude @ low level/low speed.
Avro Vulcan - she appears to defy gravity & rolls across the sky when in a turn & again the roar from this aircraft has to be heard to be appreciated, that & the fact it was the first (accidental) stealth shape of it's kind.
Northrop Grumman F-14 Tomcat - I defended an RAF base in Germany on exercise against an attack of F-14's....they were no match for our ground defence but the characteristics of such a large fighter aircraft in flight was simply awesome, only equalled by the F-16 that is much smaller & could turn on a penny (luxury of fly-by-wire).
I have reluctantly left out Spitfire/Mosquito/Hurricane/Vampire/Mustang & a host of others due to constaints of length of thread.
