What about the North American P-51 Mustang? The Bell P-39 Airacobra?
yes p-51 or mosquito
What about the North American P-51 Mustang? The Bell P-39 Airacobra?
Although the DC-3 is certainly a classic, I'm not sure I would consider it (or the XF-12 or VC-10) "beautiful" – but beauty is in the eye of the beholder, right?
what about the B-58 Hustler
Try the P-61 Black Widow. Truly beautiful lines.
THE F-4 Phanton 2!
It wouldn't be a list without the DeHavilland Mosquito.
The ONLY choice I can agree with is the Spitfire.
You completely ignored the most awesome, piston-powered, prop driven aircraft ever built which was responsible for 1/2 the Allied aerial victories in the ETO!!!
Of course, I am speaking of none other than the North American P-51 Mustang!
You also ignored one the greatest aircraft designers ever, Kelly Johnson!
His P-38 Lighting surely belongs on this list as does the SR-71 Blackbird.
There is no other description for the SR-71 but BAD A$$!!!
It's BIG & BEAUTIFUL (did I mention it's the FASTEST plane ever built?)!
I don't know what criteria you used to come up with this list, but you only got 1 right!!!
NO P-51?!
who made this? I see better lists made in crayon and sent to the north pole.
Nothing will take you there and bring you back more faithfully than the old C130 "Herky", and you can hang some heavy artillery on it too.
C130, hell ya! The DC3 is kool,but, c'mon what other plane could ya stuff a FREEKING HOWITZER.
Gotta love the HerkBird, cause the Herk is da' word:-) plus ya gotta love the fact it slings a "HOWITZER to port" man-oh-man.
Yes, P51 should be listed, F22, Mig21, Mosquito(for sure), F104 Starfighter, B58,B47and B1 Lancer. And the Lancaster and finaly 747.
And I'll even add 707 now those were some lines especially in AirForce One livery. Picking out a favorite airplane for me is like trying to pick my favorite oxygen molecule! Awsome magazine, all of your writers are just great, love the information, history and photos! PLEASE KEEP IT COMING! And I'll be sure to keep re-newing, GodBless All of YOU! With best regards, Rob N.
Ah, Connie was certainly a beauty; she might also be called the oiliest. It was said that it took a special pilot to handle her three tails at once.
The ugliest flying machine award…. goes to the "HOKUM/HAVOK" family of russian attack helicopters. I know we're talkin about pretty ones, but I thought to keep a balance sorta' :-) ok, swithing gears a bit…….
Would any of you fellow plane freeks agree that the XB-70 should be on list of the "lookers"? Like I said in my earlier post, its hard to pick out my favorite oxygen molecule, their all so good!
The Van's RV-7A.
