    Top 5 Favorite Aircraft Types

    I thought I'd compile a list of my top 5 favorite aircraft types, in order:

    1) Lockheed L-1011-100
    2) Boeing 737-800 w/ winglets
    3) CH-53 Super Stallion
    4) McD F-15E
    5) E-2C Hawkeye

    How about you? Be specific with versions if you can.

    Thanks Moose! I think that's one of my best qualities...that I don't have a one-track mind!
