Rare aircraft you have seen.

The rarest bird I've ever seen was the "Spruce Goose"in Long Beach. Only one of those babies. You didn't say it had to be flying did ya?

After watching the aviatior movie, I have come to dislike refering to Mr Hughes' C-4 Hercules as "Spruce Goose" out of respect for the man. It seemed that name was given to it as an insult.

These days anything with R.A.F. markings.

InsyleM--no bet!! FiFi is the only one still flying--see back about page 7 or 8 in this thread!

I saw the Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit Stealth bomber at the Fairford international air tattoo (UK) a few years ago, it flew in from the States during the airshow & taxied & parked in a far corner of the airfield, it was very heavily guarded, with men in dark suits & sunglasses!

I've seen an EAA Biplane.

I think the Bristol Superfreighter is the only aeroplane I've seen that is extinct

The question that shoul have been asked is: what do you mean by saying "rare"?

US Navy XFY-1 Convair "Pogo" outside the gate of NAS Norfolk many years ago. A static display -I do not believe it is there anymore.

Also a few Navy blimps along the Maine coast, from the old NAS South Weymouth, Mass. on ASW training flights. That was circa 1948.
