What type of airplane did you fly that you'd rather forget?

Question

The one that comes to mind for me was the Beechcraft Sierra. What a dog! But it did get me my complex aircraft qualification. Another was the Piper Tomahawk. Yuck.

Answer 1

I havent flown one, but the A320 is a piece of garbage and got me stuck in Chicago for over two days because of 3 mechanical failures in a row, including one that vented the coolant from the air conditioning into the aircraft while we were on the ground. I will never fly in an airbus again. Next time Ill just take the Cessna.

Answer 2

I'd have to say it was the Aeronca Champ my Dad used to have. It wasn't completely awful and actually kind of fun for low altitiude work but truly painfully slow. There were times it felt like I should get out and push. I always hated it when we'd get passed by pigeons....

Answer 3

I agree with you and vote for the Tomahawk, yuck is an understatement !!!

Answer 4

well, i gotta say i liked all the planes i've flown so far.

Answer 5

Aircoupe...ugh

Answer 6

Any Northwest airline plane. terrible service.

Answer 7

Tri-pacer/ most boring airplane I have ever flown. 2nd would be a Cessna 172 with the O-300 Cont. engine, like a stationwagon with a 5hp Briggs and Stratton engine. 3rd would be a cub/ the only fun was landing a taildragger.

Answer 8

I flew in a Fokker. It was a Caribbean airline route....Terrible...The seats rattled, they had yellow stains,cockpit was a mess, whole thing look at it was going to give out, brakes made strange noises (WD40 was needed) Whole flight was horrible...And to make things worse i got sick....Don't eat the fish
