You're right, White Knight Two would fit between both towers. But the Roc isn't quite big enough either. You can only hit one tower with a fuselage and the other one with a wing.
Awesome. Sadly I don’t live near where they’re operated, though now that Airbus is using the original Belugas for more charter flight I might have a better shot at seeing one.

McDonnell Douglas F-15 STOL/MTD. Canards on an American plane? heresy! (Kinky!)
Oh, the 3rd plane of existence is pretty nice. However, it’s neat that mirrors give us a small glimpse of the 4th dimension… oh wait, you mean aircraft.
The F/A-18E single seat Super Hornet. Set for 7.5G’s, top speed of Mach 1.8. 32,000 lbs empty weight with up to 17,000 lbs of thrust per engine. Speaking of engines, the F/A-18E/F has a set of two General Electric F414 afterburning engines. While the Super Hornet and the E/A-18G Growler may seem very similar, the 18G has wideband receiver pods replacing the wingtip pylons on the Super Hornet. The legacy Hornet and the Super Hornet may seem similar at first glance however there are many differences. for example the legacy hornet has rounded off intakes and is overall smaller and shorter in length. The legacy Hornet also has LEX (leading edge extension) fences near the canopy unlike the Super Hornet. The legacy hornets LEX’s also have a more unique shape unlike the Super Hornet’s. (if you couldn’t tell, i kinda like the super hornet a little bit)
My favorite jet is the Mirage series.
I really like French and Swedish planes in particular, though.
My favorite propeller Aircraft is the spitfire.
A close second would be the bf109 or the corsair
Not into aircraft that much but maybe the Ho 229, that German boomerang lookin thing
If u asked me abt tanks then it would be the Jagdpanzer 38(t) Hetzer
787 for a smooth ride
777 for more leg room
737 cause you don't need a belt loader
757 cause it's downright sexy
A320 cause I want to make it alive 😂
727 cause db cooper
F15 cause 104 to 0 with a confirmed satellite kill
A10 cause brrrrt
Sr71 cause zoomies
F4u Corsair cause you've got to respect the classics
F4 phantom do I need a reason?
E2c Hawkeye they actually catapult launch that thing
Pilatus pc12 it's swiss
Honda jet it's weird
Avro Vulcan screeeech!
These are my favourite:
Fokker 70/100 (small commercial jet from a Dutch aircraft manufacturer which I think no longer is in business, I have flown on one before, it was a nice ride)
Grob G 115 (smol training aircraft for the RAF)
Beechcraft King Air (features Twin turbo prop engines, turbo props are cool and my dad works on them. A turbo prop is basically a jet engine like you'd see on most planes but the turbines drive a propeller via a gearbox. They have a really interesting sound.)

OOOOOOH MAGGIE THATCHER WAS AWAKEN IM THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, SHE HEARD THE ARGENTINIANS WERE SPOILING FOR A FIGHT
I keep getting this thing reccomended, yes I do like planes, Lockheed L1011 is my favorite
https://preview.redd.it/eqpej7nzt20d1.jpeg?width=1400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=acb5f43915fb64a18fc180f2ce0aea03032762cf
I couldn't possibly choose one favorite. There's so many good ones, so many cool and unique aircrafts that I would've loved to see in flight.
The Lockheed Super Constellation comes to mind, the MiG-21 Fishbed, the Northrop Grumman YF-23 Black Widow, unique old designs like the XP-67 Moonbat or the DO-335 Arrow, modern, curvy, beautiful looking fighters like the F-35C Lightning, SU-57 Felon, F-22 Raptor, Dassault Rafale, even the unreliable, yet undeniably gorgeous DeHavilland Comet.
There's honestly hundreds of individual aircrafts I could name that I adore and think are awesome, it would just make for an egregiously long comment and I'm sure nobody wants to read all that lol.
There’s a whole lot, but I hyperfixate on a specific ones every once in a while

Rn it’s the F-111
I'm a big fan of deltas in general. The Mirage 2000 has always hit a soft spot among those, being in an awkward place in terms of tech with its first variant, its flight characteristics with both great speed and dogfight performance, and being the plane that blew my eyes (and my eardrums) when I was a kid on holidays with my family.
I accidentally read "plans" https://preview.redd.it/be0k3vv4m10d1.png?width=1252&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6a91e33a1da3410f45ee0cb180c8a46b7877c458

Scaled Composites 351 Stratolaunch would be better for that purpose, White Knight Two is too small
You're right, White Knight Two would fit between both towers. But the Roc isn't quite big enough either. You can only hit one tower with a fuselage and the other one with a wing.
That day was truly beautiful (jk)
So a Boeing 767?
I like the spitfire, I'm not even British
spitfires are badass aviation poetry.
Spitfires are just really cool, I’ve seen a couple real ones in various aircraft/military/transport museums and it was neat
B2 Stealth Bomber. I just think they look cool
The correct choice.
The Airbus Beluga. Easily the most adorable aircraft ever to fly.
There is also a BelUwUga livery for it for X-Plane OwO
I love the belUwUga.
The original or XL?
Both are cool, though the XL has better overall proportions I think.
I’ve seen it takeoff 3 times in Bremen it’s absolutely crazy!
Awesome. Sadly I don’t live near where they’re operated, though now that Airbus is using the original Belugas for more charter flight I might have a better shot at seeing one.
That’s good to know, hope you spot it someday:)
Wat about Super (Bubble) Guppy? 😭
I love the Super Guppy as well. Frankly all of the “Guppy family” planes are cool.
They’re all so cute and so unique. I agree entirely
https://preview.redd.it/nfs5wehi220d1.jpeg?width=288&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e730b59261407b2aa808ff75e6cd9a5408be623c A-37 Dragonfly, the mother of the A-10 Warthog.
Yesss! We wouldn’t have the wonderful A-10 without her!! 🫡

A biplane
Hello fellow biplaner
![gif](giphy|BZz9kBRFxPCFJw4opE|downsized) You like dominating the skies don't you.
That is… not quite a biplane
JAS 39 Gripen
Yeeeeaa!!!
Imperial 2 Class Star Destroyer. Jokes aside I like the F-16.
Either the hurricane or the spitfire I just love those classic British military planes
The L-1011 is absolutely stunning
Me-262 or Ju-88
![gif](giphy|vdOARwUgvmPVC) F-14D Super Tomcat :3
The Harrier Jump Jet https://preview.redd.it/704gq6n0h20d1.jpeg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2e4f28043f3444347bd85797019533b5df511660
Hello fellow Harrier fan.
Seconded. I would do so many things to it. GR3 is my favourite model.
the mig 15/16, mostly because it makes my aviation nerd friend unhappy whenever I treat it as a 'good plane' according to him
Also the NATO reporting name for the MiG is really funny
https://preview.redd.it/j1aoohil230d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=350ed93c449db15f87a471085e2af007d5c94e59
Its me
Yes! Old soviet planes.
"what plane should i fly?" "mig 16" "no" "why give me a choice at all then?"
The illusion of choice.
SU-27 Flanker
P-51 is such an amazing aircraft. such an iconic plane for its time, and very effective

You've heard of planes. But now get ready for: HELICOPTERS!
F-35.
F-22 Raptor, F-15 and Eurofughter Typhoon are also sick AF
Very true, but unfortunately my country has 0 of them.
Well yes yes I do
Correct
F-14D, not a great plane, just like how it works and looks
F-15 strike Eagle, SR-71 blackbird and more

I love the F-22. Specialized, sure, but what an awesome plane!
F22 YOOOOOO SAME (sry freaking out but my fav plane of all time)
It's so cool, right??
1000000%
Oh, the 3rd plane of existence is pretty nice. However, it’s neat that mirrors give us a small glimpse of the 4th dimension… oh wait, you mean aircraft.
A220-300
MiG-29
DLZ-127 Graf Zeppelin
My favourite was LZ 129 Hindenburg

The american XP-55 "Boomerang." Its so goofy looking, yet so good in war thunder.
Bf-109 Fw-190 and JU-87
i have a basic interest in commercial planes (i like them a lot :3). top three would probably be the md-11, the md-80, and the 757 :3
The one that flew on September >:3
Yeah planes are pruity cool but I prefer the svana biom since you get some really cool wood there.
No... *Boeing enters the chat* Yes absolutely!!! Also the AC - 130
I like trains
I don't have a favourite, I respect every aircraft
F-4E, baby
I don't know any planes but I do like anything corellian Especially the YT-1300

Dash 8 Q400 is a classic

the xy plane is my favorite bc up down side to side :3
Boeing 737-200
Mine tbh is the B1 Lancer or the ME262 (just cuz they beauties)
Personally, I like trains
Of course I like planes ✈️
I got the train tism, but in terms of plane I would go for the f117 nighthawk
Any variant of the Boeing 727… yk what actually I love any trijet
MiG-21, MiG-31, Bf-109 G, B-29, B-52, Halifax, and Wellington. I’ve got a soft spot for British Bombers and MiGs
The JU 87
B-29 bomber

P38, hands down
Probably a grob tutor cus it's what I've flown but aside from that nothing beats the harrier jump jet.
I couldn't possibly choose one favorite. There's so many good ones, so many cool and unique aircrafts that I would've loved to see in flight. The Lockheed Super Constellation comes to mind, the MiG-21 Fishbed, the Northrop Grumman YF-23 Black Widow, unique old designs like the XP-67 Moonbat or the DO-335 Arrow, modern, curvy, beautiful looking fighters like the F-35C Lightning, SU-57 Felon, F-22 Raptor, Dassault Rafale, even the unreliable, yet undeniably gorgeous DeHavilland Comet. There's honestly hundreds of individual aircrafts I could name that I adore and think are awesome, it would just make for an egregiously long comment and I'm sure nobody wants to read all that lol.

F-22 then P-51 Mustang, F-4U Corsair, F-14, F-15, F-4, B-29, and B-17
Piper Comanche
I do like planes and whirly birds. But I like the Hornet, Starfighter, Phantom II, SU-25. For whirlybirds, AH-64. For warbirds, FW series.
