    Thanks Vib :D F5 and F20 both are very nice sleek aircraft. And I have to agree with tzebra. The A-10 is sweet also. I had the pleasure to watch one in the skies of what was then West Germany doing spectacular manuevers. I have seen A-10 demonstration flights at various airshows, but I'll tell you this. A demonstration at an airshow pales in comparison to what a plane can actually do. it really is just the tip of the iceberg.

    Do I really have to choose? :( Here goes a few: P-38, B-17, B-25, B-29, B-36, B-47, XB-70, all the Northrop and Horten flying wings, all the flying boats and floatplanes, B-52, all Tupolev and Myasischew bombers (mostly the Blinder), Sukhoi T-100, YF-12, SR-71, F-111...from the modern era it might be wierd but the hottest to me is the F-117 =)

    Hi!
    Always a pleasure talk w/ you! :)

    I never had a chance to see A10 demos, due distance of USAF/USAAF/USMC ando so on stages... but I had yes see some F5's air manouvres and is really impressive its manouvrabillities! all the times impressive...
    Near my Town, there is an FAB airbase that has one F5's fighter squadron and almost every year we go there in October 12 to see some aerobatics... nice time... this year we planning a big barbecue in that event...
    Also, Im betting that in this year we will have a chance to see the new Mirage 2000 that was bougth by FAB!!! :super:
    :D

    IMO the AH-1 is as fast or faster than the Hind.

    I'm sure exec will argue, he was the one who claimed it is the fastest in a thread some time ago ;)

    or was it some other Russian/xUSSR, don't remember
