What Military Aircraft
If u could have any military aicraft what would it be and why. First i thought about the Blackbird cos its fast and fast is cool. But ive decided on the A 10 just always wanted and they just look so nasty. They could really ruin your day or your old school depending on your mood. Any idea how much one of them would cost to buy, incase i win lottery someday.

well... depends on what i want to do with the plane, but if to go haywire and shoot out other planes then definitely F-22, if thats not there then Su-30MKI, and by the way the A-10 is one ugly looking plane (although gets the job done).

I would choose this aircraft because, apart from being able to fit in my backyard, it belongs to the field of my work and secondly, I'd be able to run a big business with it once a PHPL was acquired

If I could have any aircraft, it would be a Ju-87 Stuka.

They're just that cool.

K-Max, used for building construction - it's a flying crane, can lift up entire log cabins.

The Stuka wins, just because it would be such fun (and so naughty) to perform fake dive bombing runs on anti-war protestors.

I believe that just may be why it's knickname is "Warthog." At least it's better looking than the Grumman "Skyrocket" that was the fighter plane in the old Blackhawk comic. One of the artists hated drawing that plane and thought it was a bad dream by the story creator. A few years after he retired from cartooning, he saw a picture of it and loudly remarked, "You mean there really WAS such an ugly airplane?"
