Which do you choose?

or

?

Depends what you want to do with them?

The one with the mountain

No idea, I’m not a fighter pilot.

Next choice?

Do they come in blue?

Which one has the best cup holder?

which one am I least likely to die in a blazing inferno in?

Unleaded, diesel or electric needing plugged in every 50 miles?

I’ll take the A10.

Well, this went a different direction than expected.

I was thinking, in the wake of the aircraft carrier thread, there might be interest in the planes we fly.

IANAFP, but I think the Typhoon is beautiful and the F35 butt ugly. Which is about the only criterion I know on which to purchase fighters.

Glad to see I’m not the only one who fantasises about strafing high street shoppers during the xmas rush.

I’ll take the A10

Why would anyone want to get to Kings Lynn that quickly?

Can I swap it for a bike?

This one, please.

No clues for aircraft fans in the thread title

TBF the US make some awesome aircraft but most are butt-ugly. With the exception of these 2:

Well the 10year old version of me would pick the typhoon. But that’s only because I remember my fighter planes book and my favourite back then was the Saab Viggen. The typhoon has a passing resemblance to the viggen in that it is also a delta.

This:

Second one.

Naughty bear! 😆

This one

This one, please.

Thank you captainflashheart, that’s a proper Lightning.

Yes, I’ll take one of those, please.

I’ve flown a fighter plane, so therefore I R fighter pilot.

Raptor

that’s a proper Lightning.

Yes, I’ll take one of those, please.
As a child >9 , I lived opposite a scrapyard which had a Lightning cockpit and fuselage section. Owner was ok with us climbing in, taking off and saving the world.

+1 for the awesome Lightning.

Which one will make the most profit ?

Which one will make the most profit best noise?

🙂

Which one will make the most profit ?

Depends on whether you won it in a raffle

Which one do Thule make a roof rack for? Preferably with aerobars?

This one, please.

I used to know someone who had one. As far as I recall it was no longer required and it was just a case of take it off our hands please. It was back in the 70’s when it was all rather different. He had some other plane he acquired as well though I can’t recall what that was. He also had an impressive collection of WWII parts he’d dug up as well. I was most impressed by the Spitfire gun sight he had. My dad told me a few years later he’d also shown him a .5 Browning he had stashed at the back of a barn.

Not even slightly a fighter, but this every time.

I’m going to let Kryton57 decide for me.

He needs the practice.

Why would anyone want to get to Kings Lynn that quickly?

Maybe he wants to LEAVE Kings Lynn quickly.

I prefer Bear’s magic crayon version

But I’d really like a Saab Gripen and to use the M62 as my runway

Aesthetically I’m not a huge fan of the F-35 (odd proportions) or the Typhoon (mainly the low wing and the air intake I think). On that basis my favourite RAF fighter from my lifetime may be the Jaguar:

Otherwise, PJM1974 made the most relevant point:

Depends what you want to do with them?

For out and out speed the Typhoon wins and it’d probably also win for air superiority. For air to ground it’s closer and would go in the Lightning II’s favour if there’s an appreciable SAM threat or similar.

The F-35 should be more future proof, but will still no doubt have plenty of teething problems to iron out. And if you need STOVL (or any sort of carrier capability) then the Typhoon is out of the running immediately.

Come you masters of war
You that build all the guns
You that build the death planes
You that build all the bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know
I can see through your masks

F-35, better screens for watching Netflix on

This Viggen is a bit more practical. I’ll take it.

Typhoon, cause I make em. Well the brackets that hold the wings on and the flight refuel pipe.

Prefer this one meself.
