| Ok, I just now saw this thread. I am going to do my best to put together an all-time favorite five but this is without too much thought put into it.
1) P-38 Lightning
2) F-22 Raptor (or Lightning II as I still call it)
3) F-15 Eagle
4) B-24 Liberator family (including the PB4Y-2)
5) B-1B
Naming a top 5 was really hard. There are a lot of aircraft I love and the list is probably in a total state of flux (except for that first one of course).

Country: | Here you go, a Windows Media file of the Turbine Legend. Actually there are 2 different Legends in this clip. Now you can see it in action. It does remind me of a P-51 when it is in flight.
I can make it even smaller in size, but then the quality gets REALLY bad. This is a compromise. Enjoy...

Country:  | Nice! And that can be mine for the low price of $25,000(US), eh?
Hmmm...Factor in the fuel, maintenance, and not the least important of all: flying lessons. 
It'd be a great idea, but I think I'll just watch them. | |
