The Ilyushin Il-62
One pilot who went by the name “For Sweden” spoke on their experiences of using this old-aged fighter plane: “It still uses manual flight controls, no power assist to move those flight control surfaces,” he explained. “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
The Brewster Buffalo was the first monoplane jet to fly for the U.S. Navy, though the Finnish and Royal Australian Air Forces also used this plane. At the beginning of World War II, it was a popular plane, but by the end, not many country’s armies used it because it was too difficult to maneuver. Some even called it the “flying coffin.”
