…to repeat, NO spacecraft. No U.S.S. Enterprise (A, B, C, D, _or_ E); No Millenium Falcon; no U.S.S. Discovery. Alien vehicles still acceptible, but only if they’re only capable of operating within a planetary atmosphere. With that out of the way…what are your favorite fictional vehicles? Aircraft; cars; (ocean going) ships; military or civilian, you name it. My personal favorites? The Tim Burton-era [Batplane](http://home.earthlink.net/~tcdownen/OzCon_00/Pictures/batplane.JPG) and [Batmobile.](http://www.mitchell.derbycounty.co.uk/cars/batmobile.jpg) After them, the Colonial Marine [UD-4 “Cheyanne” dropship.](http://members.tripod.com/IsleOfShadows/morpheus/dropship.html) Never leave home without one. 😉 So…any other favorites? ---
