Re: Least favourite aircraft?
I don't have a least favourite aircraft. The only thing which I used to dislike was Royal Netherlands Air Force helicopter display team, The Grasshoppers. Now they were boring!

Mine has to be the Alpha Jet slow and boring, and why buy one when you could have bought a Bae Hawk. A321
Re: Least favourite aircraft?
Gazelle and F-27 Friendship. The engine noise is too annoying, a very high pitched whine on both.

Green helicopters in general, but If I have to choose only one: AH-64 Apache.
Re: Least favourite aircraft?
P8 Poseidon... just looks like any other 737. Or the Phenom 100...it's too squashed up and stubby. Yeuch!

Re: Least favourite aircraft?
I don't dislike the Hawk, as it's kept me from a number of "Blank" days in the loop.
However, when it's red, part of a nine-ship millstone which is seriously outdated, performing laboriously distant manoeuvres, then I know it's toilet-break time.
And yes, I was overtly involved in their function for 4 years!

Re: Least favourite aircraft?
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

Re: Least favourite aircraft?
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

Re: Least favourite aircraft?
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.

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.
