OK guys, what aircraft do you fly?

Ok guys, I have to just chime in here and defend the big B a little...

I worked on Boeing 707's (Air Force KC-135R tankers) for 5 years ('90-'94) in Montana. Our oldest was built in 1953, and our newest was built in 1962. Our "R"
models have the big GE high bypass fans.

Last I heard the Air Force is planning on using the KC-135 until 2020. That is a very long time for an airframe.

I have personally flown one of our old birds at 0.98 mach 560 knots going from Alaska to Japan.

I have worked on Boeing, McD., Lockheeds, etc. And the Boeings are the best made large aircraft.

The funny thing is I have no interest in flying the big birds in flight simulator. Leave one big airport, just to see another big airport. No thank you. I want to do some
sight seeing on my trips.

No for me, and to make money in FSPassengers I'm going to stick with the singles. C206 or Piper Cherokee 6, then 8 seat Beaver, lastly the 11 seat PC-12.

Oh just FYI, the company I work for is a dealer for Pilatus and we have about 5 PC-12's based with us. I copied some POH stuff out of one that was built last
June! So if anyone wants know anything about the PC-12 I can get it for them.

Just my opinion...
