Okay, my aircraft's characteristics would be in the area of Manouvarability, with a decent speed, its ability to maintain full speed without losing its entire fuel supply, it would be a stealth Strike Fighter with the ability to identify individual targets from extremely high altitude, my plane would be equipted with the latest and most innovative weaponary, and have a f**king Slick airframe.

Okay, I say speed, with it's companions horsepower and climb rate. I would justify this with the AVG experience using less maneuverable planes against more maneuverable planes. Getting to pick and choose my battles would be paramount, see the 190D-series planes that outran P-51s when they didn't start in an advantageous position...

I would just build the Millenium Falcon! With modifications to make it more maintenance friendly and reliable.

The Falcon was as manouverable as my *** cheeks though... Speed it has, but the firepower compared to Slave II, let alone a simple Tie Fighter, just dont cut it, especially when ur hyperdrive is tits up......
