B-52..            If you've ever seen on takeoff, you'd agree

[specter177]

SR-71

[Dr.bob7]

C-172 of course is the best looking aircraft of all time  :o

[Mazza]

I reckon the spitfire and P51D

[The-Black-Sheep]

Cessna 206 Turbo Stationair II
F-105D Thunderchief
Cirrus SR22

I'll keep thinking of more  ;)

Just reread the entire thread here, and it seems that no matter how many aircraft there are, there's a person out there to love each and every one.

Gotta be thankful for diversity.

The X-38 Grizzly. The more I fly it in FS, the more I love the shape of it. It combines some nice elements of several classic aircraft, while still retaining an original appearance.


And it looks gorgeous in WWII Navy blue. 8-)

Other than the Spitfire, the F-35A at first I though it was ugly, but it's growing on me. Also the new F-15SE looks sexy.

My favorite is the Team Rocket F-1.  The one in the logo of the homepage is based at my airport.

I also like the P-51 and the 55 series Barons and straight tail Bonanzas.

Gotta go with either the Comet or Concorde.

My favorites are:

Piper PA-28
Cessna 182
MD500
Boeing 737
Boeing 787

They are all pretty cool! 8-)

All of you are so wrong it's laughable. The most beautiful airplane, and I have this on very good authority, is the F7F-3 Tigercat. Like a Porsche, there is no substitute. The 'Cat is gorgeous: twin radials, huge props, fuselage like a greyhound, guns in the nose, carries a few bombs-- what's not to love?

Spitifre Mk1a

The F-86 is by far the greatest looking aircraft. Even when static on the airfield it looks like it's going 600mph because of its swept wings. Looks great both in bare aluminium and in camo.
