I like the looks of this one so far from the pics I've seen.

My picks,

Airliner-->Airbus A340-300 (first time having seen one depart CYYC, just couldn't take my eyes away - an extremely graceful aircraft).

Military-->Tossup between SR-71, B-1B and the original F-15 series. The first two being long and slender and possessing lots of power, the latter just looks like a well-balanced design to me (as long as it works, looks are moot; however, it doesn't hurt to have the looks as well).

Not long after Gorbachev initiated 'glasnost', a Mig29 landed at Elmendorf enroute to somewhere in the south 48.

I guess it all depends on your interpretation of the word "Beauty".

In my opinion of a beautiful aircraft I look at form and function before looks. I would have to pic Concorde.

Shes Fast, Sleek, Carried over 100 people at Mach 2. And she was a time traveler. She could leave London at 10AM and reach New york at 9AM
