Your Favorite Antique Airplane

You must have a favorite antique airplane. We'd love to have you share it with us. We have an easy to use submission form at the bottom of the page - click here to get to the form quickly.

We do have a favorite old airplane... a sentimental favorite anyway. Our brother-in-law's 1939 Piper J-3 Cub. You might have guessed that if you followed us on our Cub to Oshkosh trip. You can still read about our adventure.

1939 Piper J-3 Cub

Mark's favorite airplane in Oshkosh 2009 was the Pitcairn Autogiro. It was VERY cool to see it fly!

Pitcairn Autogiro flying!

But enough about us.

Back to YOUR favorite airplane... Share it with us. Where is it? What country? What city? What airport?

Have you seen it fly? Have you flown it?

You probably have more than one favorite. Tell us about them all. You can upload just one photo or up to four.

(And you know, even though we call our site antique-airplanes.com, your favorite doesn't have to be all that old... we love them all.)

Scroll to the bottom of the page to see the favorites that others have told us about. You can comment on them if you'd like. Maybe add to their information. We need all the help we can get.

(A quick thank you to the students of Greene County Career Center in Ohio for telling us about their favorite airplanes. They learned how easy it is to submit a favorite!)

Go on... it IS easy...
