Most Beautiful Aircraft

[Gemhorse]

De Havilland's Mosquito Hornet... - they were extremely effective too.....

Thanks Aggie!

Could I be wrong, but if the SR-71 Blackbird is now retired(?) - that makes the Foxbat the fastest plane now in service?

- Though the F-15 runs it close.

Surprised no one has mentioned this beauty, the Lockheed constellation/super constellation.

 

[cheddar cheese]

That is a damn pretty plane...

 

[evangilder]

Welcome aboard Mongo. Great choice!

 

[cheddar cheese]

Also like the F-106.

ooh pointy

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

source on right click........

 

[Gnomey]

But not as good as the Vulcan...

Sources on right click.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

well the Avro 707B was just a 1/3 scale "model" of the vulcan, but with the air intake in a different place.......

 

[Gnomey]

Yeah but it still isn't as good looking as the Vulcan...

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

i think it is.........

 

[Gnomey]

You like French bombers...

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

so you don't think the 707's attractive?

 

[Gnomey]

It is not bad but I think the Vulcan is better...

 

[cheddar cheese]

so you don't think the 707's attractive?

Nope, its got a fuck off huge bulge at the top...the F-106 is smooth and simple. Much better looking.

plain simple and exceptionally booring, maybe someone should introduce to its designer the concept of a curve! and i like the air intake on the back, i think it'd look stupid on the vulcan but it works on the 707.........
