Both pilots and ground mechs saw ALOT of soul in at least one jet. Czech out the forums here...

Perhaps, perhaps... As I'm a pilot myself I believe I have a right to have a personal oppinion? And it is - I love Yak-18t and Piper Cherokee, although the later one is a bit cramped to my taste. This is my dream plane, that I would trade my soul for:

But all Jets (including F-86 and MiG-15) to me are nothing more then just "whistles".

You mean like this one?
