My vote is for the Lockheed SR-71, YF-12, A-12 series of Blackbirds. They win hands down over all other aircraft combined. 2nd place would go to the Concorde SST and 3rd place to the North American XB-70.
What do you like???][alien]
Several votes:
-F-4U Corsair and P-51D Mustang, two best looking aircraft from WWII
-A-4E/F Skyhawk, the thing just LOOKS fast
-F-106 Delta Dart
-FW-190D, as graceful looking an airplane as there was
-Any aerobatics plane w/ Patti Wagstaff gripping the stick (wink wink)
without a doubt, the bent wing bird…
The early P-38/ Beech Staggerwing and the P-51 in natural metal.
F-15. P-51. Nearly mirror images of one another.
RAF Spitfire, not to mention that purring Merlin.
Honorable mention goes to the F4U, FW 190, and the Ki-84.
for me
-p-40 just love the lines on that a/c
-b-17 graceful in life, graceful in death.
joe
I’ll vote the F-18.
…Bill.
F4U (all variants), F-16, F-15, F-4E Phantom II, P-51D, Ta-154, FW-190, F/A-18, F-100, F9F (all variants), F-8 Crusader, F-86F Sabre, A-4 Skyhawk, and the B-58. And that’s just for starters…[:D]
B-47 – Cleaner lines no plane ever had except, possibly, the
F-86 – It just doesn’t ever look old.
B-58 Hustler – Lifelong love for fast Deltas
F-106 – Ditto
Mirage III – Ditto
Spitfire V – If a beautiful woman were transformed into an airplane…
F-104 – Do I have to explain? It, too, seems never to look old.
F-16 – An odd choice, yes. But I’m betting that in 25 years it will be looked upon as we do the F-86 Sabre. It is a beautiful airplane. Most of us don’t notice because it is so common now.
F-4 – (Blush) Because I got more thrills in its back seat than in any other vehicle.
TOM
Yeah? What kinda thrills? Did they involve females of the opposite sex?[:D][:D][;)][:p]
F4U, P-51, P-38, Spitfire(all), B-17, B-29, B-25, Late model P-40’s, Fw-190(Has to be the most beautiful plane ever made imho)
F-86, Bearcat, Panther,Tigercat(only plane I have ever seen that made my wife excited and clap as it flew by, so I made her an AB Tee shirt of it)
F-14(think I am the only one on the planet that thinks thats a good looking plane), F4(all)
wood, the f-14 is nice, but my fav’s are the flanker, the mig 21 2nd, f-14’s, xb70’s, and for props (pun intended) d9’s and spit mkIX and p51B
for me it’s hands down the su-27. the p-40 i like also, but the flanker is truly amazing.
F4U with out question for props
and the F-5 or the F105 for jets they just look like what a jet should look like. Just ask any 5 year old to draw a jet plane and it will look pretty close[8D]
Spitfire. period.
The CF5 have my vote, love the body lines on her.
B-17, P-51D Mustang, B-25 Mitchell, F4U-5 Corsair, TBF Avenger, SBD Dauntless, F-4 Phantom, C-130 Hercules, Ford Trimotor. Each BEUTIFUL in it’s own way!

The F-15E of course. [;)]
