Which aircraft would you steal?

[KeithTalent]

Is Blue Thunder from Goldeneye?

If so, I'll settle for Famke and you guys can keep the helicopter.

I'll take Roy Scheider http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0085255/

The most produced fighter aircraft of all time of course!

BF-109:

Love the startup sounds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_a_TETqe1Cg

gulfstream a550 or the sultan of bruneis Airbus 380 with full pimp treatment. Who need a house.

It is rumored that if you go to bars and ask hot girls to come on your plane they do it

FYI, there are now startup & takeoff videos for aircraft on youtube.

Thanks to DigitalCombatSimulator I'm pretty confident that I could hop into an airworthy/functional 109 and get it started. Getting the taildragger to taxi/up in the air is a completely other story though...

 

[MongGrel]

SR71 Blackbird.
Where are you guys? Been here 2 hours already.

I was thinking of that myself, but Air Force One does sound more comfy

The pimp rides too of course.

Now Dirigible is jealous. I hope you feel bad.

 

[TheGardener]

Apollo

 

[ViperXX]

An F-14 Tomcat. Because I'm dangerous.

 

[ElFenix]

I think viper has to pick an F-5

 

[JTsyo]

F-22 so I can shoot down all these ATOTers that are flying instead of neffing.

 

[MongGrel]

A-4, come on

Viper wasn't in a F-5

Yup, the F-5 were the fictional migs. Viper was in an A-4 and so was Jester I believe.

 

[TheFamilyMan]

P51D Mustang with TigerShark teefies...always loved those planes. Grandfather was a pilot in WWII in one.

 

[OutHouse]

A Soviet ekranoplane would be fun too. The babes would see me comin' to their beach and be like, "Woah."

wow so why not build a hydrofoil. Russians are weird.

ok this is actually pretty fricken cool.

Hydrofoils can't go 300 mph.

 

[KeithP]

My first thought was something like a P-51, Spitfire, or maybe a Sea Fury. But practicality reigns and I think I would just go with a Gulfstream G650.

A Stuka dive-bomber, I wouldn't want to actually bomb anyone but they fitted them with loud sirens that got your attention as it came in for an attack. It was the only true dive-bomber capable of a 90 degree vertical attack in WW2. Interesting fact is that when they designed the A-10 they spoke at length with Hans-Ulrich Rudel who (using the Stuka) flew 2,530 combat missions, (a record that still stands today as the higest ever) claiming a total of 2,000 targets destroyed; including 800 vehicles, 519 tanks, 150 artillery pieces, 70 landing craft, nine aircraft, four armored trains, several bridges, a destroyer, two cruisers, and the Soviet battleship Marat. Interesting man, nice Wiki page about him, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans-Ulrich_Rudel

 

[MongGrel]

Yep he was good.

Stuka only hit about 175 or so and the later Russian fighter planes ate em up.

Hell ANY fighter ate up the Stuka, it did have a rear gunner but he's got one gun while the pilot on your six has 4-6 guns/cannon coming at you. The fact that he survived the entire war flying the Stuka is amazing in and of itself.

Blue Thunder predates Gondeneye by a decade or so.

 

[unokitty]

Had an engineering professor that was a former PBY Catalina pilot.

Was surprised to hear that he had learned to fly it at Navy Pier in Chicago...

He must of been stuck somewhere with a lot of CAP with a lot of tanks running around, yeah.

He was also a master of this version of the Stuka which had 2 anti-tank guns mounted under the wings, he was credited with destroying 12 T-34's in one sorti but in the end none of it mattered, the Russians could crank out 34's like pancakes.

I've thought about this a few times. The current first answer is a Pilatus PC-12.
Goes into the majority of airports around the world. Pressurized, still small enough to be fun to fly.
The next less practical choice was an OV-10 Bronco. Noisy, slow, but a great view and decent performance down by the dirt.
