Which Aircraft Will You Choose?

Might be a better use of time and forum space than another argument about Steam or Freetrack.

As for me:

Plane?: Hurricane

Why?: My friends and I play missions in IL-2 with the P-40E. When we start flying as a squadron in CloD I think we'll find it an easier transition to the Hurricane. Also, we proudly fight for the allies in this virtual war.

Organized?: Roughly four or five of us play IL-2 with some regularity but not part of a larger online war. We fly as the Bad Wolf Squadron (not historical). We're fairly casual, but can step up the discipline when required.

When?: We fly around 8:00pm EST (Eastern Canada/USA)

The 109.

as a child i was just mesmerised by its shape.

i can remember coming home from primary school to my working prop, working gear and control surface 109G model in 1/48 size, and sometimes just lying on the floor staring at it.

i chose it from the shop, my father helped me build it.

keep in mind the internet simply didnt exist, computers were certainly not in the home and all the aircraft info i could get was in rarely bought magazines.

the 109E with the blue sides and black top?

evokes memories of those times, all these years later.

heheheh in another style of analogy, metaphor etc.... the spitfire was the barbi doll blonde and blue.

yeah, nice. Yawn.

the 109 was the bigger hipped, bigger chested raven haired dark eyed smoldering mystery with ruby red lips....

.... just so much more intoxicatingly attractive?
