What\'s your favourite aircraft type to fly ?

[EHM-1465 Dominic]

This week you can let us know what type of plane is your favourite to fly and why you think it's the best!

We know that some pilots like turboprops, some like big jets and some like the single engine Cessna - so now's your chance to tell us your fave...

You might even want to tell us about any planes you'd like to see in the Fleet! We can't guarantee to introduce every wish but we are always interested in what our community wants

Right now, I'm only flying one plane and it's not in the fleet (nor do I expect it ever will be...) - the Cessna C337 Super SkyMaster (payware FSD one for FSX)

Basically, I'm waiting for a decent B738 to make it to FSX.

No contest here, the B757... flying the beautiful Captain Sim model (which I'd love to see incorporated into EuroHarmony ). Has some fantastic destinations on our timetable too which is even better!

I voted for "medium jets" though this is kind of unfair against the ATR 72 (Flight1 version) that I have been happily flying in the past weeks.

But the aircraft I like the most from the EHM fleet (excepted payware, thus more complex and interesting aircraft) is the Airbus 310.

I see that some gave their vote to the Boeing 757, as would also do some people I know from IVAO-RO, but I definitely prefer wide bodies. Don't know exactly why, maybe it's because these are naturally less likey to fly so it's more of an engineering "magic".

Or it may be because in the Euroholidays missions I once did one long night flight with the 757 seeing strange lights and smoke near the tail, only to understand at dawn that I probably rubbed the tail at takeoff and the aircraft is equipped "against" this kind of wrong doing

Well my favourite bird seems to be ever-changing.

I started off with the Fokker F-70 as the most versatile and easy to use in my pre-FMC periods.
Then I came across the PMDG's and I loved them and the detailed simulation they offer. Alas, it was not to last. The B73X series was always correct, always without failures and always predictable. This made the novelty wear off much sooner than I had wished.

So I'm now in my current two babies.
Eurowings RJ-100. This little beauty is a tamperamental little bird. No autothrottle and a very peculiar autopilot. Still has a rudimentary FMC to deal with the lateral navigation tasks (esp. useful in crowded TMA's) but unless you're 100% on the ball you could loose airspeed, climb or descend too much and of course it takes a bit of work at every landing.

My other baby is the captain sim B707 in the E-3C configuration (NATO AWACS).
This has no FMC, No autothrottle and a VERY rudimentary AP. Which means you're guaranteed fun every step of the way

I normally like the planes I had the chance to fly the most when I was an active pilot: Cessna 310 and the Aerocommander 680 in the twins class, the Piper Cherokee Arrow 200 and the Mooney M20J in single engine. I have all these in my FS and like to fy them once in a while.
Regarding commercial Jets, I spent a lot of time in the cockpit of DC9s, DC8s and DC10s. I love these planes. Also have those in FS. Actually my favorite in FS is the LDS B763 mostly because it is one of the most complete package available and there are lots of things to learn. The last month I have been fly-testing the now-freeware B742 from VMax and it is an excellent machine.
When I worked with Shell I used to fly a DeHavilland Heron, a small 4-engine plane as well as the twin DeHavilland Dove, which I have in FS.
I had always a preference for Douglas over Boeing but have to admit that after flying the HJG B-707 I like her a lot. Only a couple of times had the chance to fly in one of them when I was in Ecuador with Ecuatoriana de Aviacion.
But my all-time favorite in real life even though I never was aboard, is the Lockheed Constellation. I have the FZDesigns Connie and would love EHM to have it and fly her in an event. I think that I proposed this idea a long time ago.

I like the looks of the A330... But i normally like flying shorter flights (read, less than 4 hours) cos most of the flights with larger jets is just a matter of sitting back most of the time... So i casted my vote for medium jets, A320, 738, and the sort. Also love to fly the ATR and F70 =)

[EHM-2271Theodoros]

I like most ATR-72-500 and B738.
In general i like to fly C-130s.
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Big birds

[EHM-2272 Callum]

Either Boeing747 or Airbus380

Even though I love general aviation and specialist planes...I flying the PMDG 747-400 and the MD-11. These are  the aircrafts I fly the most, and I will keep flying. I would love to see the Skysim MD-11, with the colors of Euroharmony. (...or the new PMDG MD-11...when will be delivered).
