| Buttercup | M1A2SEP Abrams....................oh, wait......  Seriously though, I'd have to say the AH1W Supercobra, the AH1 series has been around since 1966, the AH1W variant since 1983, and it's still going strong, there is supposed to be development of a AH1Z in the works, but that's going to be the last variant. You know, what with running out of letters and all.

| Tribuni Angusticlavii | I personally like the B-52. Modern... hm... The F-22 Raptor looks nice  Seriously though, that thing just looks like it could kick POOF. I say this show about it and at the end I was just... wow...Choppers? Blackhawk. Its so tough, takes a lightning bolt to knock it out of the sky. |

Well, given a decent sized dune, and a good start, she can fly. The landing won't be too pretty, but she can fly.  | |

| Tribuni Angusticlavii | My favorite modern aircraft? Well, when they experimentally put a chain gun on an osprey...it got me feeling good! Got to be that V-22 Osprey http://pma275.navair.navy.mil/ Heres the lowdown on one of the meanest tilt rotors around (as soon as they work the bugs out of it....  )
