GreyGhost Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Depends on the airframe for me ... Legacy Hornets, I like the single seater Super hornets, I prefer the look of the Family model ... Flanker series, I prefer the look of the Family model as well ... So, like I said, depends on the airframe ... Gregg Link to post Share on other sites
ChernayaAkula Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Depends! Smart-a§$ answer, I know! Some cases where I like the dual-seater better are the Supa Hornet, the Flanker and Fishbeds. A tie with the Viper and the Eagle. Single-seaters for Fulcrums, Voodoos, Hunters, Legacy Hornets and Mirages. Link to post Share on other sites
GreyGhost Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Moritz, I always felt the same way about the Fulcrum but the new MiG-35 model is sort of changing that perception with me ... Gregg Link to post Share on other sites
ChernayaAkula Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Know what, Gregg? The same thing occurred to me too! Didn't like the MiG-35 at first, but its looks have grown on me. As they say, great minds think alike! Link to post Share on other sites

Will2K65 Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Depends on the aircraft really... Aesthetically I prefer single seat: F-16s F-15s Legacy Hornets Typhoons (the twin stick Tiffy fell from the ugly tree shortly after birth, hitting every branch hard on the way down, before being set upon by dozens of ugly orcs armed with ugly sticks...) Rafales Harriers BAE Hawk MiG-25 (ever seen the MiG-25U? *shudders*) MiG-29 Viggen (twin stick just looks wrong, in a similar way to the MiG-25U with a horribly ungainly double bubble appearance) The twin stick is better for the following: Gripen Mirage 2000 Super Hornets Flanker (including the SU-34 which IMHO is the best looking Flanker variant) Link to post Share on other sites

MiG31 Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 I'm a sort of "apples and oranges" person where the Flanker is concerned. I think both look very good. Same with the single-seat Fulcrum vs. MiG-35, although for some reason the -29UB doesn't look right to me. Link to post Share on other sites
andyman_1970 Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 (edited) Single seaters: Viper (except the Sufa 2 seater *drool*) Legacy Hornet Harrier F-5 Even split: the Eagle, but prefer the grey hens as single seaters, the two seater look just goes better with the more "muscular" frame of the mud hen. Two seater: Super Hornet Edited September 18, 2007 by andyman_1970 Link to post Share on other sites
Andre Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 MiG-25 (ever seen the MiG-25U? *shudders*) That one is so weird it just moves it up into the "so ugly it's beautiful" category - I just had to get the Condor kit. Hey, I have an Amodel Yak-38U in the stash as well. Now we're talking seriously ugly! Cheers, Andre Link to post Share on other sites

MiG31 Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 I think the MiG-25 2-seater looks great in an odd way. When looking at it sitting on the ramp, you have to be thinking, "sorry sir, the Starfighter can't outrun a Foxbat". Link to post Share on other sites
janman Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Flanker is a very beautiful aircraft also as a two-seater. It might get even better with the back seat. Or with a side-by-side seating in the Fullback's case, which in my mind is one of the most beautiful aircraft ever. Fulcrum doesn't work as two seater that good - partly also because it hasn't got any radar thus making it technically "uglier" as well (that is in my head, of course ) The new 35 looks good though - it retains the radar and thus the lethality as well. F-16 definetely doesn't benefit from a second seat, nor does Viggen or MiG-25 (but as said previously, it's so ugly that it's already somehow gorgeus). I like the looks of the family Floggers and Frogfoots. In the case of the latter, two seater actually looks much much better than the single seater. Typhoons and most Mirages are fine in both ways. Hornets... I really can't say. Tomcat works best as a two-seater. ;) Link to post Share on other sites
Karl Sander Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 F-16 definetely doesn't benefit from a second seat In my logbook it does! ;) Link to post Share on other sites
Zmey Smirnoff Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Single-seaters all the way. All two-seaters look like trainers to me. Can never take them seriously Link to post Share on other sites
Karl Sander Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Single-seaters all the way. All two-seaters look like trainers to me. Can never take them seriously For the record, I DO prefer 4-seaters to 2-seaters Link to post Share on other sites
Trigger Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Depends really. Some family models look better than their single-seat counterparts... T-38 (vs. F-5A) F/A-18F MiG-29UB (Yeah, I know I'm in the minority on this one - deal with it.) F-2B And vice versa... F-106 F-15 F-104 Still others work well in either configuration...

ChernayaAkula Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 (edited) Tweets are twin-stickers as well.... A single-seat Tweet would have been just too much! Edited September 19, 2007 by ChernayaAkula Link to post Share on other sites

Zmey Smirnoff Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 I thought the MiG-31 was your favorite Zmey ? Gregg Very keen, Gregg! You are right, 31 is my fav - but the second pit on that plane is so obscure that it doesnt take away from the single-seat beauty of the aircraft. Z Link to post Share on other sites
David Walker Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 I find it depends on the airplane. I don't really like the look of two seat F-18s but both the MiG-29UB and the MiG-21UM look great. Link to post Share on other sites
