The Ilyushin Il-62
A pilot using the username “For Sweden” also talked about what it was like to fly this Soviet-era passenger jet: “It still uses manual flight controls, no power assist to move those flight control surfaces,” he said. “If some ice gets in a hinge, it’s just your muscles that will break it loose. It also has a history of failed thrust reversers and exploding engines that damage neighboring engines.”

The Brewster Buffalo
This was the first monoplane fighter plane in the U.S. Navy. The Finnish and Royal Australian Air Forces used the plane as well. It was popular at the start of WWII but became outdated by the end of the war. It was heavy and unpredictable, which made it hard to maneuver. It was just no match for Japanese planes since it collapsed frequently and had very weak landing gear. It has been called “a flying coffin.”
