Country:  | I would not consider airships and balloons to be aircraft. Some might but I don't due to the fact that they are deriving their main source of lift from a bag of helium or some similar gas over the cockpit/gondelia (However you spell the name of those Venice boats). I suppose I'll accept gliders although I was mainly thinking of powered flight if you'll notice that all the planes on my list have engines. To be a plane though it has to have wings or something similar, the blades in the case of helicopters providing the main lift. With an airship all the rotors do is drive the airship forward, they don't keep it in the air. |

| P-38
SR-71
B-25
Spitfire
F-15
The order changes and there are about 30 close seconds. I've been around aircraft all my life and seen many many fly (mostly US Airforce from the '60s to present including the SR-71 - incredible! Even a stint at Edwards AFB test center.) but after watching several air races I think the WWII planes are the best or at least have the most Class. | |

| Nice list, I especially like the topper...
Knowing the people here, though, that's gonna cause controversy... | |
