#1, The B-52 has got to top that list, with them, it's entirely possible that a pilot will fly the exact same plane into combat that his FATHER did. And I don't mean "same" design, I mean the same freakin' AIRFRAME.
I remember as a kid in the early 90's I'd fly out from Pittsburgh to Detroit to visit my Aunt in the summers, it was always on a Northwest MD-80. The short hop from Pittsburgh to my local airport was always via a Short 330 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_330) easily the ugliest and clunkiest airliner I ever rode in. Fortunately, by the last year I made the trip, USAir had inherited the commuter route and replaced the Shorts with much quieter and faster Bombardier Dash 8's |
