Default AOPA Poll

OK, so two gliders and one towplane (J-3) made the list.
From a AOPA (USA) poll this date:

Poll result:
Which of the following aircraft would you most like to fly?

P-51 Mustang 66.49%
J-3 Cub 12.79%
SpaceShipOne 10.59%
Robinson R66 6.92%
Grob G103 glider 3.21%

I have no idea on how the poll was conducted nor who was asked.

It was a poll that appeared on the AOPA webpage. I voted for the P-51
-- who wouldn't choose that over a Grob 103?

Now that's kind of funny. They must have an odd system of nomination
to the list.

You'd think the list would have something expensive or exotic, like
maybe ETA, Lingus 2CX, or Diana 2. Either that or something classic
and funky like Bowlus Baby Albatross, Grunau Baby, LK-10A, or Slingsby
T-31.

sailplane fleet, everybody knows what a Grob is!
