OK this time I'll go for the Lancaster. Why? 10 tons of bomb load, great looks, a line of decendents that went on into the 80s and I flew in one many years ago. And before anyone asks best flying boat........Sunderland, flew in one of those too.
Best carrier aircraft.........The Sordfish, read up on what she did it will amaze you!!

My favorite WWII era would be the B-17

And since we're throwing single seaters in here, I'd say the A1-H Skyraider too.

Next would come the B-58

And the B1 takes the cake. Stealth's ok, but give me speed anyday! Big Smile [:D]

To the Gent who is looking for a B36.
$130 odd is a bit rich. I got mine a few months ago for $35, Australian too!!, at Toys-R-Us. look 'round some these shops and you might strike gold.

I like the B-24s and B-26s from WWII. The Liberators couldn't take the punishment a Fortress could but I just like the way the looked.

I like the 26 Mauraders because it was a hot machine for it's time. It had a colorfull history before being accepted by the USAAC but experienced crews loved it.

From WWII it has to be the Lancaster. It was an elegant design, did it's job and had four Merlin engines. 'Nuff said!

As for today, my vote goes to the GR.1/GR.4 Tornado. It is'nt stealthy like the F117A and it does'nt have the weapon load of the B-52-but it will go places others won't go,hard and fast.
