Super Connie long slender body, long legs, --she just says ride me
2.Caravelle has a look to her that says “I’m fast”
BOAC Comet had a sexy fighter look to her with the engines in the wings
Boeing 727 see 2 above
Boeing 707 I can’t explain it but it was love at first sight
Lockheed Super Constellation VH-EAG (a.k.a. Super Connie)… c’mon… just look at her curves!
Lockheed 1649A Starliner, Convair 990, & DC-8-63. Thanks! Christian
Nothing will ever come close to my two alltime favs… Lockheed Constellation and Boeing 377 Stratocruiser…drooool.
They don’t build aicraft that anymore and that’s a shame.
Props, it has to be the Super Connie, although I am partial to the 049 short-bodies.
For jets, Concorde, no question.

AHHH old iron annie I see someone also likes the old classic ladies my choice is the Douglas DC-3 who like Rosie the riviter rolled up her sleves and went to war and she still graces the skies bolth as an airliner and cargo hauler yup a Grand ol Dame

Any fans of Soviet airliners…Tu-144, Tu-154, Il-96 and the Yak 40!
Oh! And The TU-114 “Rossiya” or “Cleat”; HOW could I forget her?!?!

These 2 birds just seem to have it all “just right”, visually, in my opinion. All the right lines in all the right places.

I must agree with rangerj…the Boeing 727. It “looks” fast. Everything is swept back and blended, so aerodynamic. I must admit the Concorde was a pretty close second, but the Boeing 727 is an “everyday man’s” plane, more accessible.
