1. Best plane - the one you happen to be flying
2. Sometimes the Navy buys planes that seem a little strange 3. But the Navy never buys planes that are a real p.o.s. (G) 4. I'm too old to fly 'um any more .... so the rest of you guys go have some fun and tell me about it later. Jasper Tiler wrote: Which is the best naval plane? |

Which is the best naval plane? That depends on what you want that plane to do. I'd say the best naval plane EVER for whatever purpose you needed, was the S-3 Viking. It could: Find Subs by dropping sonobouys, and using its MAD Kill subs with Torps Kills big ships with Harpoons Kill small ships with Mavericks Carpet bomb with 500lb bombs Lay mines Collect ELINT Shoot down other planes with Aim-9s (intended for Bears & Mainstays) Pefrorm COD services Refuel thirsty Hornets and...of course, bring the President onto a carrier for what would be both his most glorious and most embarassing moment. |
