I used to play with cheap little airplane toys with my uncle when I was little... like a big styrofoam one and little thin, wooden ones that had wind-up propellers. Other than that, nope.

I have no interest whatsoever in aviation and never have. Thomas the Tank Engine was where it has always been at.

HOWEVER, you're relatively new and you have a dog called Harry, just like my cat. This is good.

I've been around just about the same time as you!
Well, you might have an interest when it was possible to cross the atlantic (london to new york) within 3 and a half hours instead of 7 hours.
They called it...Concorde

Oh oh! I'm into aviation! Next to tigers prolly my biggest hobby ^_^. Mostly the fighter jet sector of the American navy/army is something I'm interested in.
If I wouldn't have had a problem with my vision I might even have applied at the Royal Airforce over here to become an aviator, but that will never happen I guess.
So to get close to that, I do have my very own genuine Pilot's Wings, as they are handed out to pilots in the American airforce/navy.

I used to love aviation when I was a little kid...It kinda waned, I'm more into particle physics now. But it's still there somewhere in my heart, and I'm still interested in how airplanes work and all.

I'd say my favorite plane is the A-10 second being the F-15, I hate the design of the F-22 what about you guys?

Well John, I myself prefer the F-15 over both of those as it appears more sleek and modern. The A-10 has those bloody big ugly engine things sticking up on its back.

your saying the F-15 looks more modern then the A-10 yeah, but your not saying it looks more modern then the F-22 right? Soem Biplanes are pretty nice I saw a great reproduction of a Boeing Stearman in real life.

How can you compare an F-15 with an A-10?! An F-15 is a high altitude fighter jet and the A-10 is a low altitude ground troop support plane (thus the huge engines).
My favorite is the F-14 Tomcat. Followed by the Chengdu J-10 Mig, because of it's absolute pwning abilities in Battlefield 2 .

I always wanted to be a fighter pilot but I don't think I'll ever be able to do it, and I have bad eyesight

Rex Tirano they let women be fighter pilots in Israel I believe.

They let women be fighter pilot's everywhere I believe. I know they have female fighter pilots in the US Navy anyway.
What you just might run into is the basic training. Many people believe that women are not fit for server the military.

Rexy, you're not allowed to be in the military. Even if you technically are, you aren't, not while I'm around.

Haha. Oooh I might have to try you on that one. But last time I checked [I am by no means an authority on the RAF {Royal Air Force}] they didnt allow women to become fighter pilots; pretty much for the same reason they don't allow women on the front lines.

:

That's good, just a shame I'm not Israeli [sp?]. I'm also glad tatin the US they have equality between the sexes.

But none of you can beat the old spitfire. Mmmm scrumptuous.
