Back in the days when you flew a 'real' plane
I had the opportunity to look through a refurbished DC-3 Dak that's flying over in Africa and was absolutely amazed at the aircraft, all the knobs and dials a completely different to todays glass EFIS cockpits.
So, I ask the question: What was your favorite 'real' plane and why?
Mine goes to the HS748, a true rugged aircraft that you could throw anything to and it would happily purrr through the sky.
