How about a Curtiss Robin? My next two builds will be a Curtiss Robin and a Culver Cadet. The Curtiss Robin is what my Grandfather flew with my Dad on his lap and where he got the flying bug, and then the Culver Cadet is what my Dad bought, rebuilt, and my brother and I flew in with him The Culver pictures are of right after Dad finished re-building it and painting it. My Dad, my Sister, and me in one pic and me on the wing in the other (1962?). The picture of the yellow Culver is the same plane but much later after Dad sold it.

My other all time favorites are the P-51D model and the S2Carbon Cub.

Status: offline 		The most beautiful airplane is the one that does the job and then brings you home safely! Doesn't matter if it's a fighter, bomber, freighter, airliner or puddle hopper.

That being said:

Most beautiful piston fighter has to be the Spitfire, not a straight line to be found. Beautiful curves, air racing lineage, incredible wing design and probably the best dogfighter of WW2. Constantly upgraded and improved it could out turn, out accelerate and out climb the P-51 and most other fighters of it's day.

....In fact, how about a vote for the earlier D.H 88 Comet Racer as well?

I'm a sucker for the Golden age aircraft. My vote is for the Aeronca LC. I'd love to build one one day.


Neddy, yea, relly cool looking. Did you ever hear the aviation trivia paradox that the wheel faining on this aircraft are called spatts and the kind on a Decathlon or Cesna 195 are and were called "wheel pants." When you think about it it should have been just the opposite, right? wallace.tharp

OK the only reason that I mention this is because of the nickname that it had.... I was a crew chief on the C-124...you know a million and a half rivets flying in loose formation. , and it wasn't one of the slickest things in the air ...if you know what I mean.

It was called "Old Shakey," right? They flew into Itazuke AB in Japan when I worked in the tower there. Yes, it was "Itazuke Tower!" as in, "This is Airforce eight oh one." Yes, It's an Air Force song. Can you imagine flying to Japan or Hong Kong from the West Coast in a "C-124 Globe Master?" I worked at Travis AFB, Ca in June of 1970 and as I remember it they had parked them by then. The C133 Cargo Smasher was still in use but at least it was a turbo prop. Looks like a big C-130. My neighbor, a first Lt was said to be the youngest aircraft commander of the 133. He was about 26. wallace.tharp
