What's the one the Red Baron flew?
These planes get my approval as well.Adler17 said:b) Fokker D VII: The best fighter of ww1, so feared that the allies demanded every single plane in the cease fire agreement.
c) FW 190: Probably the best fighter of ww2. 20.000 planes produced. Outstanding fighter and fighter bomber.
d) Mitsubishi A6M2 and A6M3 Zero: A perfect plane for the dog fight: long range and very agile, high fire power to 2 MG and 2 20 mm cannons, however very vulnerable.
e) MiG 29: In the 80s partly ahead of the western planes
True, it also adheres to the adage, "if it looks right, it flies right". Not that I would know personally of course, it's merely what the Old Boys say when they describe it. The Cannon at the Church a friend of mine had his son Christened in flew one.El Justo said:PrinceofLeigh,
i've often heard and read that the Spitfire is considered by many as the most beautiful plane of all time (in appearance that is).

In modern times however I think the Raptor looks the slickest.

There are so many planes in that list i would not consider a "super plane"... And first time i heard that engine story btw, what engine are you referring to? Mig-21 are so widely used and there are so many Mig-21 variants with different engines it is a nonsense to say simplt his engine was this or that way.Adler17 said:Hmm, the MiG 21 was and still is widely used. However she is in no way a real super plane. She never was that. And also her engines, although designed for that, could only go Mach 2.0 by being irreparably damaged.
