Forgive me if this has been asked 100 Billion times before, but I was curious which aircraft is everyone's favorite? Or maybe the one you find yourself flying the most often in FS.

For me, for some reason, I find myself in the C172SP Skyhawk or the C182RG Skylane most often. I like the Skylane mostly because of the retractable gear. And the 172 mostly because at times I'm too lazy to change to another craft  Tongue

But I do like the Learjet45 and I seem drawn to the triple seven if I feel like challenging myself. And what's really impressive is if I can actually land the thing! Wink

The Spitfire, either Paul Rebuffats CFS2 models or the MkV we have here in vintage downloads.
I'm also spotted in the Stearman we have here and the Lyons Tiger Moth Wink
 
...
There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Maybe not 100 billion but close.

Based on my default flight setings and the ac I fly most it's the plain vanilla Beech King Air, using John Consterdine's Beech Baron panel slightly modified to accomodate it.

I should admit that my attention span prevents me from flying lengthy cross country flights in airliners, although I am not averse to flying 60-90 minute flights in them.  It just seemd like a waste of fuel to tank up a 747 to go 500 miles.

90 Billion maybe? Wink  I hate being the new guy in a forum like this and asking a question I know people have asked before, but it seemed a good way to start conversation anyway.

I take it you have many ac that didn't come installed by default? I don't have the one you mentioned at all.

But I have the SR-71 that we've been discussing, and I also took down something called the Husky Aviat, the Lockheed U-2 S Dragon Lady, and the Robin DR400. I want to get the Grumann F-14A Tomcat. It just looks like it would be great to have, but will take a while to DL.

If you spend enough time here, you WILL find some of the same topics covered repeatedly BUT just as you see in this thread some of us never get tired of talking about the same old thing. ............so ask away.!!.........as far as I know........THAT'S WHAT THIS PLACE WAS BUILT FOR!  Wink

My personal favorite is the  Aeroworks ARX-5. It's like an 800hp Extra 300.........and it'll hover!!  Grin

Being a cool, laid-back, sim pilot, rarely in a hurry... 8)...!
....a few of my favourites:
Cessna 150/152, (for cheap flying).
Cessna 182RG, (if I'm in a little bit of a hurry to get somewhere!)
DH Beavers, (tundra wheel/float, for a spot of fishing in out of the way places!).
Beech 18, (for touring with passengers in a proper aeroplane fitted with radial engines and propellers!).

...and loads of Microlights...(just for the fun of it!)... Grin...!

Cheers all... Wink...!

P.S....for me, Uncle Bill is wasting his time with Jumbo 747's, etc..... Wink...!
LOL...LOL...LOL... Grin...!

has to be the Maule M7-260 Amphibian for FS9 but works fine in FS2002 apart from the GPS.

Comes in a pakage of several planes. Can't rember where you can download it from as i got it from the PC Pilot cover CD (uk flying mag) Think its about a 40 meg download.

The Fairey Delta 2. I like being able to take off from London with the knowledge that I could be flying over Paris in less than 10 minutes. Grin

For long Haul (1000+) I have many aircraft.  All are either in a custom paint or corporate, no airlines.  My favorite is my Boeing 747-100.  Very challenging to fly

For Medium Hauls (400-800) I choose my lear 45

For Short Haul (1-250) I choose my Cessna Caravan.
Usually its a toss up between my Caravan or Saab 340.

Those are just a few of my aircraft, mostly flown aircraft based out of KMSP.  All around the states and abroad in  few locals I have some other aircraft.  Most of my aircraft I have downloaded really only fly once or twice a year because it takes forever to get to them.  I think my fleet numbers in the 20s.  All corporate or private. NO COMMERCIAL

I have downloaded planes and have flown numerous hours with all of the flyable stock planes in FS2002, CFS and CFS2 and I tend to agree with you about the Cessna 172 and 182.  They are easy to fly, and the flight model seems so much like flying the real thing. If only they were faster....
