Couldn't see the one I wanted, so I voted for the BUCCANEER! ;)

Not sure it's that simply :(( but I think I would have to go with the Lightning

I really had a hard choice either the Buccaneer or the lighting but i eventually chose the lightning

I'll join Xpl with a vote for the spelling mistake. ;)

XM655 has four of them, all serviceable.

I went for the Victor because I've never seen one fly. [more than a few hundred feet along a runway =)) ]

I have to admit though, I hadn't noticed the Lightning on the list until after I'd chosen. It would have been a close run thing...

Sorry about my spelling.... I'm a Badger, and my fat paws (if thats what they are?!) struggle to press only the keys I want :(

Quite happy with the BUCCANEER, but in the voting list it's spelt with ear! :-o


Does that bring it closer? ;)
