My picks
Penny, Stuka cos I've not seen one of them built here.
Terri, Strutter, strutter cos I think the camel is a bit of pug compared to the strutter
kelly: oh so diverse, hard choice. I pick the Hubble just out of curiosity of seeing something different.

That about covers all ages of flight!

It sounds like it more than just aircraft, so here are five figures or kits from which to choose:

Seil Last Crusader (7th-8th Crusades), 54mm

Thunderbolt Mountain Wood Elf Archer, 30mm

Pegaso Onondaga Warrior, 54mm

Thunderbolt Mountain French Napoleonic caricature, 54mm

Mithril Sauron at Gorgoroth (a scene with three figures), 32mm
(page down to MS435 inside the index box on this one)

Wendy that sounds like some cool stuff will have to look it all up to see what you have. but I am leaning toward the Last Crusader right now.
Camogirl I understand how work always gets in the way of what we would rather be doing

JP the Hubble is a paper model that I got a while back it seems to be really detailed ... never built one and thought this might be a good reason too...
Wendy I think I will put my vote to the Onondaga Warrior its looks really cool . you being in on this might just get me to do one also they look intriqing to paint
