Plane of the Year 2009

(1/3) > >>

Webmaster:
It's time again, the annual Plane of the Year election. I don't know about you, but to me the year 2009 flew by at Mach 3 and I missed half of it, but here's the selection. Not sure why we only considered fighters in the past, so I added some nominees of other types.

F-111 C/C:
What is the criteria? Most improved, most capable, biggest surprise, etc.? Difficult to chose one when some are fighters, some are transport that BOTH deserve the award in their respective specialties. Sorry to be difficult. I think I'll just vote for the plane that had the most positive impact on Military aviation this year. Since it will only allow me one vote, I'll say F-18E/F for fighters and C-17 for transport.

Webmaster:
It's up to you. We never had any criteria before. It isn't a "the best aircraft" vote. Even if it's just fighters we can argue over criteria all year long. I suppose it's personal how you rate them. I might have made it a bit more difficult with the addition of some non fighters. If that's a problem, just consider the fighters only.

Ramon:
Hello all,

I do not want to be a "party-pooper", but I mis the A-10 Warthog
in this list. Was very important during CAS support in Afghanistan.
And furthermore they continued the upgrade with the new wings
for the older models, and the Precision Engagement Capability for
the A-10A and C Thunderbolt II models.

Regards, Ramon  ::)

 

Webmaster:
Okay, added the A-10. You can change your vote now as well.
