Trends I noticed:

Meme Aircraft: 5/8, I guess y'all really like meme posts (the Literal Tank Destroyer and Le Tonk Upgraded are borderline due to genuine quality performance, but memes nonetheless)

High-Effort Aircraft: 8/8, despite the looks of it, I put high amounts of effort into every post on this list. Some more than others, but hard work that paid off regardless.

Dedicated Aircraft: 3/8, three of the aircraft on this list were very high dedication builds I made, namely the "Pseudo-PEA" AMX-10M ACRA, Super Hydra Mk. IV, and Super Bomber V2. I will admit the Super Hydra and AMX-10M are a little higher in quality compared to the Super Bomber V2, but they're still all fabulous.

Replica Aircraft: 1/8, Le Tonk is also a replica, but that's NMS360's Tonk, and even then I established this was a heavily upgraded version of everyone's favorite Italian meme machine (unless you're an L3 simp), making the AMX-10M the only true replica on the list. However, if you wanna be open or simply just aren't picky, the Super Hydra Mk. IV could be considered a replica since it's based on a LEGO plane I built.

Derivative Aircraft: 3/8, Le Tonk (Upgraded), M-99 with Man Face, and Literal Tank Destroyer all are modified derivatives of NMS360's Tonk, M-99 Tank Destroyer, and the M49A1 Shock MBT respectively.

Custom Thumbnails: 6/8, the Literal Tank Destroyer and British Zero are the only planes on my "Most Upvoted" list to not have custom thumbnails.

5 Days or Older: 7/8, Super Hydra just barely makes the cut, with the AMX-10M being the only one here to be newer than 5 days old. Guess upvotes take time, huh?

Not an Aircraft: 4/8, the AMX-10M, Tonk Upgraded, M-99, and Literal Tank Destroyer are not planes. However, interestingly enough, none of them are tanks either; the AMX-10M and M-99 are designated Tank Destroyers, the Literal Tank Destroyer, in spite of its name, is actually considered an amphibious vehicle, or very loosely a Tank Destroyer (the M49 wasn't considered an MBT until the M49A2, but the Literal Tank Destroyer was based on the M49A1), and the Tonk is of course a Tonk, no explanation or argument needed there.

Fast: 7/8, all of these are at least somewhat fast, although The Tonk is kinda mid in terms of speed.

Mobile Friendly: 7/8 all of these except Lagwing the Great can be ran on most mobile devices with little issue or lag, just don't let the AMX-10M or Super Bomber get destroyed whilst carrying a full payload.

Custom Colors: 7/8, Lagwing is once again the only outlier, as every other build here uses a custom color scheme fitting to their "character."
