Mechanic on the wing in Post #804, nice touch. That is one painful looking spinner on the 190 mock-up Aircraft Mock-Ups

Might be rough for the mechanics who have to repair the engines while wing-walking after using the door on top of the wing.

Oops! Lost another mechanic. The oil leaks make it tough to stay on.

XP-86 Straight wing. North American NA-140 - Sabre

... and thus was born, what went on to become, the most classically beautiful, iconic, JET fighter ever! After the Sabre, fighters started to morph into brutish SHAPES, Phantom, and post Mig-19 series, examples; or, into DESIGNS which could no longer be piloted, F-117 for example.

The Sabre was the edge, in Korea, IMO.

But, I'm happy to say, the Sabre now has competition in the beauty department -- F-15 and F-22.

And the Hunter, of course ............

 

[Capt. Vick]

Certainly not the EE Lightning, which launched a whole new class of ugliness.

 

[michaelmaltby]

I admire the Hunter ... knew a Jordanian who was ex-RJAF Hunter pilot. Fine AC, beautiful British lines like Spitfire and Hurricane but it was not ICONIC, IMO

 

[Gnomey]

Good stuff guys!
