** I really know nothing about how you can program your polls to work **
But if there were an option to vote for more than one aircraft, but only one vote per aircraft, problem solved?

AVSim.Ru has some nice Il-76 AI... How can you tell the difference to the Il-78 from the outside?

Large refuelling pods that protrude from underwing pylons and on the left(?) side of the tail. I'm secretly hoping that RATS will do this variation while they're still familiar with their current IL-76 model.

Ilyushin and CASA are vote-able.

Cheers, have placed a vote on the Ilyushin.
Well, the B-52 coming out on top is no surprise really, being such a popular aircraft amongst those into mil aviation, and given its lack of good ai representation in FS. UK mil aviation fans are often fond of our indigenously produced Nimrod aircraft, so if many of the votes are from the UK, then its also no surprise to see that aircraft doing well too.
However, I remain suspicious about the way the E-2 keeps suddenly "catching up" with the Buff. Sure it'd be great to see any of the aircraft in FS, but I'm not convinced that an E-2 model is really as sought after as the poll suggests. Although clearly someone is a fan...

I Think I voted for the E-2....once. I do agree that the E-2 is popular, however I do think the BUFF is more in demand. I only want the E-2 so I can complete all of the fixed wing units at New Orleans

I suspect there is a very strong supporter for the E-2 case.... The good thing is that we all are able to interpret the poll and can identify which aircraft have been probably promoted.

How could I forget the RC-135!?!
I'd love to see that, as I've already got complete flightplans for my "painted on" RC-135 fleet.
Another I'd like to see is the IAI Astra SPX/Gulfstream 100. It's missing from a current project of mine (see my signature image

).

Oh come on admit it, we would like to see hundreds of planes, we just hope for a dozen Nick Black clones to get through that list.

Aha, you're on to something there - maybe a Nick Black stud farm?

Don't say stuff like that, he will want to go there. You will only get his hopes up.

Maybe not clones. But IIRC he has kids. Maybe we can expect something from them

Are you suggesting that he should shag for the benefit of MAIW?
He may just go for that one.
