Best fictional aircraft?
For me, it has to be the MiG-31 "Firefox". That is one great aircraft.
Airwolf is second.

I can't decide on a specific example right now, but Crimson Skies are chock-full of awesome fictional aircrafts.

The steampunk planes in Skygunner were pretty cool. They were biplanes. With huge muskets attached.

Even if you remove its ability to transform into a mech, it's got stealth, supercruising, and missile swarms.

My money goes to the Yukikaze.
The Goblin Doom Diver might stretch the definiton of an aircraft a bit but I stil think it deserves a mention.

Re: Best fictional aircraft?
The Dai-X from Star Fleet. OK, it was technically three separate craft that joined together to form one huge robot, but who's counting?

Talyn. Living ship, developed mental problems, then died a heroic death.

Re: Best fictional aircraft?
The White Stars from Babylon 5 are among my favorite ships. Not only do they look cool, they also... do cool stuff.
Speaking of Babylon 5, the shadow vessels are also kinda neat. Something possibly cooler are the hybrid earth battleships/shadow vessels created by Clark. It took a lot to take them down.
And that's not even mentioning the planet killers...

Re: Best fictional aircraft?
Easy question. The ships of the imperium, as featured in Battlefleet Gothic. They're space-going cathedrals, complete with pillars, glass windows with religious imagery, domes and stuff. how much more awesome can any flying craft get? And they chant prayers to their plasma engines. GRIMDARK navy, here we go!

Re: Best fictional aircraft?
Have you ever thought about the scale of that thing? I mean think about it Air Force One landed on it, have you any idea how long the runway would have to be for a Boeing VC-25 to land? Unless they invoked the correct but rarely (if ever) regulation that any aircraft carrying the president has the call sign Airforce One and he arrived by chopper.
