I thought it might be a great idea to emulate the famous Top Gear Cool Wall, where they rate cars from being very uncool through the 'ice cold' cool.
But we could do it with aircraft seen in NZ now and in the past.
The categories:
- Ice Cold Cool
- Very Cool
- Cool
- Very Uncool
So, let's start filling the wall with aircraft...

Ice Cold Cool - Supermarine Spitifre Mk XVIe TB863
Very Uncool - Miles Aerovan!
Add as many as you like, and feel free to debate other's opinons - politely. Also feel free to add photos to show how cool or uncool the plane is.

Ice Cold - Has to be the gorgeous Thunder Mustang
Very Cool - The P-3K Orion - especially low, hard and fast
Very Uncool - All Cessnas except the RNZAF's Golden Eagles, and that lovely old radial one that crashed after arriving in NZ (195?) .... ducking for cover

And so you should duck for cover Master Homewood. What is wrong with a Cessna 180?!

I just find them boring and bland, and uncool. Likt Toyota Corollas. Not saying they're not great to fly in or cheap to run, etc.

I don't think we've had B1's and B52's in NZ, have we?

Roger that Dave, I have made them fly away. (B1?)
But I have no doubt that SR71s have been overhead, sussing out N.Z. secrets

How did I miss this thread? 8-)On a par with liquid nitrogen as far a coolness goes.....  Ice Cool...  Ice Cool....  Cool....  Cool (personal bias included)....  Right, that'll do for a start. |

What's that last aeroplane called? "Whiskey Zulu" ;D Robin R2120U (hence my bias) seen lurking in Cambridge airspace in March  Must admit that TZG is my favourite at the moment though. Cheers, Stu. |
