Status: offline 		OK I started the P-51 thread and now I was just thinking what in your opinion is your best looking aircraft. Here is mine: My all time favorite is tied. The conny and the F-16 are tied in my book. Other ones that makes me bulge is the P-51, Vulcan, F-100,b-58 hustler.
Whats yours?

It is, after all, in the eye of the beholder. In "our" world my onlypick would be:

Pfalz D.IIIa

I think it has something to do with the hours I spent running a wind tunnel in college. It tended to "shape" my mind!

The Concord is defiantly up there.

So is the B-1 Bomber! I saw it make it's first flight from Palmdale, Ca. Plant 42 to Edwards. Before they de-tuned it, it had HUGE engines. I also saw on in a holding pattern at the Prescott VOR, Drake, with a student that I wa instructing. He was above us about 15 thousand feet with the wings extended! wallace.tharp
