November 16, 201312 yr I just stepped through the Platinum Edition of Flying's Top 100 Airplanes. I would not have come up with that Top10 if they gave me 100 tries. Weird choices them there folks made. Regards, Ray When Pigs Fly . Ray Marshall .

November 16, 201312 yr Author Don't tell me Abacus is in the Top 10 ? No, this is a list of the real world planes. Absolutely no rhyme nor reason to the stacking order. Ray When Pigs Fly . Ray Marshall .
November 16, 201312 yr Some very mention-able aircraft that did not crack their top 50: Beech Baron, C208 Caravan, B-2 Stealth, Piper Malibu, Pilatus PC-12, F4 Phantom, B-24 Liberator (which I believe is still the highest production multi-engine aircraft in history). And I do not believe the DC3 even made the list of 100.

November 17, 201312 yr Author You guys must be looking at an old list. The Platinum list has the V tail number one and the J-3 Cub number 4. Ray When Pigs Fly . Ray Marshall .
November 18, 201312 yr You guys must be looking at an old list. The Platinum list has the V tail number one and the J-3 Cub number 4. Ray That is the list I found. I just guess I missed the DC3's position on the list. BTW, I believe it was simply the Bonanza at the top of the list and they chose to show the V tail. The King Air and Baron were also on the list but not called out as any specific version of those models.
