MSNBC Airplane Hall of Fame

[Timm]

MSNBC ran an interesting article. I'd like to hear your feedback.

I think it's a pretty good list, but I'm not sure I'd include the B314.

Anyway, what does everyone here think?

I think the 314 deserves to be on the list, but i think that it should have
been swapped with the constellation. I think the 314 was a great plane, but
the constellation contributed more from an engineering standpoint. Great
find, and thanks for sharing! :-)

My opinion is extremely biased, as a former Marine navigator on KC-130s, but
I would have to list the C-130 airframe right up there with the DC-3/R4D/C47
airframe. Why? Longevity, flexibility, economy, safety, performance.

Thanks, Lockheed!
