Added - thanks! Is that one of your votes?
haven’t voted yet!
Bit weird to list the Wright Flyer under GA/Commercial rather than under Experimental, no? I’d have said that is THE experimental aircraft.
Also no Messerschmitt Me 262 and Fokker Dr. 1? I’d have said the Red Baron at least is iconic.
Yeah ran out of room TBH! Military category is choka-block. Can only have 30 entries in a single poll.
Overlooked the extra table down there. Mark me down for those two then, I’ve only voted on three others in the table above.
Curious of the F4 vs F14, one served in multiple branches both ground and sea ops(the only one since being the $1.5T F35 nobody asked for), dozens of other nation’s air forces, countless combat sorties and defined the template for all modern fighters going forward(including the F14). The other one was carrier bound, never in combat other than a camera carrier and weren’t allowed to even fly them over land-well except for the Iranian Air Force. Oh, and it was in a movie.
if you can add the Rafale too…
and now I have voted!
Please add the FG-1D Corsair to the Mil/Exp list.
Not sure I’d vote for it, but does the Mitsubishi Zero qualify as being iconic?
Not a vote of sorts as this just popped into my head, haven’t seen hide nor hair of the Saab 340 in MSFS2020. Surely this aircraft counts as being an iconic regional GA airliner?
Oh, that’s right! I do remember seeing that now that you mention it.
I spent hours flying with a virtual airline as an Australian regional pilot in FSX, trying to get hours up to move on to the 737.
39 days and counting…but who’s counting…
P3 Orion I vote for
Are those really ‘iconic’?
The Nimrod is far more iconic than a P3, it was the the best Maritime Patrol Aircraft bar none. If you have any doubts read Tony Blackmans book, especially the part where NATO sent an award to a Russian submarine commander, he was “watching” an international competition to detect submarines when the Nimrod “found” him.
I feel like quite a number of people in this thread confuse “iconic” with “personal favourite”. That post is one of them.
Sadly yes. To the point that on the second day a mod already offered to add this official statement to the top…
… but I guess some people still don’t read stuff these days.
Could the Grumman F6F be added to the Military list? I need to select that iconic WW2 US Navy carrier plane.
I’d purposely ask stay home from school “sick” so I could watch the VHS tapes my pop recorded of Victory at Sea when it aired on US television in the '80s. Go Navy!
Added Grumman F6F Hellcat with 1 vote. Thanks!
