Once again the recurrence of the DeHavilland brand seems to come to the fore, though mainly DHC and DHA products, and I am glad to see, No steenkin Tigers on the list so far.
Classics like the DC9 and the Twotter are surely deserving the appellation of 'Real Planes",
but Pawnee (hawk...spit) NFW! a puss barge only exceeded by the appalling IMCO Callair A9. pedestrian work horses surely. The old cessna 170/180's were a mile ahead as far as being a 'real plane' and they were in no way the equal of the Beaver. Pinky, you really must get out a bit more, you will not be disappointed.
I'm just waiting for someone to quote the Cherokee 140, or perhaps that overweight and underpowered slug the C150 'Aerobat'. oops!, Now I've prolly gone a upset someone.
