Least favourite aircraft?

[jindivik]

Mine has to be the Alpha Jet slow and boring, and why buy one when you could have bought a Bae Hawk. A321

HI A321,
I agree with you, they were bought to replace the Hawks at DERA/QINETIQ Llanbedr being used as Shepherd Aircraft as the Raf wanted the T1s back, the O/C at the time at Llanbedr was ex GAF pilot who I believe got them to replace the Hawk as the shepherd for the Jindivik Drone to be used on the Aberporth Range, they were still in Luftwaffe camo when operating from Llanbedr before painted Black when Llanbedr closed and they went back to Boscombe Down. I think 9 were bought 4 operational and 5 spares

You know what these type of posts are getting tedious as the title says your least favourite aircraft. But when you post something that people don't like oh dear they throw their rattle out the pram . My post was my opinion I do require or need other people's permission grow up

Blimmee! there was only one post expressing surprise you don't like the Mig-29 - mine - and I thought that was reasonably light hearted and also I reserve the right to disagree.

My least favourite plane is anything I have already logged

[gyvespa]

I always thought this was a bit of an ugly bug.

I have seen one, it didn’t look any better in the flesh.
I bet most people have tried to forget them.
I like most aircraft, but this is low down on the list along with the Antonov AN2, an aircraft that when it appears at an airshow, gives you time to go for a pee, get a drink, grow a beard, etc and still see most of the first pass.

Great - gives me a chance to get an unrestricted photograph

Just reading through, its surprising how many people have voted for their ugliest aircraft in this "least favourite" poll. Personally I find that the uglier an aircraft has been designed, the more favourite they climb up my list!

Anyway, personally I find the Voyager hideous. Lets face it. Its just an A330 painted grey, the most uncomfortable thing I've ever had to fly in, and is a botch job of a tanker. It has no character and replaced the VC10 and Tristar. A murderous blubbering plasticated hulk of an aircraft.

I have to agree with Wokka's choice of the A330, has very little going for it and have little desire to photograph one which speaks volumes, along with this would put the RAF E3D, another bland machine which does little to excite.

gyvespa I like the AN-2, saw one display at a small strip once, very impressive. Can't think of a least favourite other then the spam cans I see over my house most of the time, but they are least favourite, not hated, if anyone offered me a ride I wouldn't decline.

When flying the Andover E3 used to be my least favourite. Back in the day when you just turned up at an airfield and see what happened, you could be enjoying a busy day of flying at any military airfield then 115sqd would turn up and everything else would clear off and it was an afternoon of Andover circuits for the rest of the day!! As a kid my heart sank when one turned up.

Well, in the final reckoning, I don't REALLY care how ugly it is etc., It's still better than anything I own, 'cos I don't own one!!!.

When I was at school in the 1950s it was Varsity T.1s of 115 Sqn! Unfortunately they had the same effect as the Andovers in chasing away aircraft (such as Hunter F.4s/6s, Venom NF.3s and Javelin FAW.4s), so not really good news.

And now a civvy king air can pop in in between flights and do the job, oh for the technology we have today back then. Mine was Bucc, Phantoms, Jags, Harriers, Canbs et al getting scared off. Javelin would be towards the top of my list for a/c I wish id seen flying.

Old WW1 warbirds

Perhaps you should re-read your own original post? You stated that you're not a fan of the MiG-29, fine, nothing wrong with that, what people were responding to was your assertion (or opinion if you prefer) that the MiG-29 was/is tactically useless, which rather suggests you actually know nothing about it's 'tactical use'!
Just sayin'...

The_Edge posted " We all have a favourite aircraft ". Well, I'm not sure that I do, as already stated, " if it flies, I like it ". But to respond to the posted question in a boring manner:

The aircraft that I can hear but cannot see is probably my least favourite aircraft.

I enjoyed reading all the responses, interesting.

P.s. For the mods, would it be possible to increase the number of Smilies and please can we increase the number allowed to be posted at one time. I know that I'm a sad bstd but I love them

Have a nice day!
