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

The Lear 45 will go more than 2,000 NM. Maybe it's the extra leg room in the "whale" that you like!  Grin Wink
 
.....so I loaded up the plane and moved to Middle-EEEE..........OIL..that is......

Hi,

My favorite aircraft at this point in my flight simming is Bill Grabowski and Nick Bottemers  Embraer 145.
Nicks version 3 aircraft and Bill's very real and functional panel make this an exciting and realistic aircraft to fly.
Embraer pilots contributed in the realistic design, sound & functionality.  And it surely shows.  This panel is not for jumping in and just flying!  Everything needs to be set to fly this aircraft.  My first try without reading the manual ended me rolling off the end of the runway, I couldn't get it up!  :0, flying that is!

Nine billion, six-hundred eightythree million, fifty seven thousand and.......
Dang!  I lost count! I'll have to start over!

Most of my favorite planes have been made by Bill Lyons.   It just turned out that way.  Thanks Bill for the good work!

FS 98:  Bill's Luscombe 8a with and without floats. Also his piper J4.

FS2000:  Bill's Cessna 120 and the Alaskan Winds Beavers/Turbo Beavers.

FS2002/2004: The Howard 500 (VC) Pilatus PC12, Bill's Waco Biplanes

CFS1:  Bruno Duforts P-40

CFS2:  Krystof Malinowski's P-40s.

I'm probably forgetting a few but there is so much good stuff out there.  My hat's off to all you great designers out there--keep up the good work.  We all appreciate you!!

Jim Cheesy

P.S.  one...two...three...four....five...

Where would I find this plane?  I take it that it is somewhere in this site's download library?
It sounds like it would be fun to try it out.

for me it changes every now and then, right now I'm measing around with a lot of classic brittish jet fighters in 2k2, notably the Meteor T.7 and E.E.-Lightning. In CFS2 I'm flying the F-9F2 and in SFP1 I'm flying the Hawker Hunter Fmk.6 and an F-4E in an Israeli campagn  8)

For sheer elegance, style my favourite has always been the Super Constellation. I have one in TWA colours, and with a few mods as regards engines, panel etc, it's a joy to fly. Have fun whatever you choose Grinendoe

Find myself often in a piston (or turbo) twin like any of the CARIBOUS, BEECH DH18, GRUMMAN GOOSE or AEROCOMMANDER.

It must be the "kid" in me but my flight of choice is "Airwolf" in helicopter mode, the Jupiter 2 when away from the 'puter, and when I want to conform a Cessna Skymaster.

 
COMPAQ Presario 6330us, Antec 350 PS, P4 2.8, 1 gb ram, 80 gb hd 7200rpm 8mb cache, WIN XP SP1, NO AGP, N-Vidia GeForce FX 5500 w/current drivers, Logitech Extreme 3D Pro Joystick, FS2002 and CFS1! Tried CFS3 but HATE IT because I can't fly

Its hard to pick a faivourite - i fly so many and they're all pretty fun.

For sheer performance and if i want to cover large distances quickly then it has to be the FS2002 DSB Eurofighter Typhoon. That thing out-flies anything in the sky!
Anglo-Virtual Aviation's RAF F4 Phantom is probly one of the best handling jets out there and the most rewarding to fly well. Its no slow cruiser either so its a tie between the two.

There are a number of great classic props i fly too - when im in the mood for local flights or sightseeing.
They include an FS2002 dH Dragon Rapide [cant remember who built it, sorry!] and AVA's P51 Mustang "Silver Lady".

Right now my favorite is Aerosoft's Beaver. Don't know if this would qualify in your thread as it is payware  Roll Eyes

The Aerocommander series by Milton Shupe is also a great GA plane.  Grin

I have enjoyed flying the Falcon 900 Vinair .
File -- Falc90VA.zip .  Flies nicely and you can see over the instrument panel !!!  Give it a try and let me know what you think .
