Favourite Strike Aircraft Poll
(http://cdn.theatlantic.com/assets/media/img/photo/2011/03/air-strikes-on-libya/l01_RTR2K5B4/main_900.jpg)
An attack aircraft, strike aircraft, or attack bomber, is a tactical military aircraft that has a primary role of carrying out airstrikes with greater precision than bombers, and is prepared to encounter strong low-level air defenses while pressing the attack.
This class of aircraft is designed mostly for close air support and naval air-to-surface missions, overlapping the tactical bomber mission. Designs dedicated to non-naval roles are often known as ground-attack aircraft.
So what's your favourite strike aircraft? Choose 6 out of 23 in the list. If you choose "Other (not listed)", please let us know what that/those missing plane(s) is/are by replying to this post. I, however, have included some helos and Vietnam-era attack aircraft in the list.
If anyone has any suggestions what other aircraft (fixed-wing, sweep variable-wing, rotary or otherwise) I can include in the poll, please let me know.
Cheers
