Cool Planes. I have the 3rd one in my hanger. Like the first plane. very cool looking.

Nice shots. Looks fun to fly anyway!

Love the XB-35. #1 reminds me of Eugene Heyart's Stratojet Merlin. You should include it, even though it is fictional. And like all his aircraft, it flys great.

The Merlin was probably inspired by the X-35.  If you look at the Stratojet line, all his aircraft are base on a real aircraft.  The Albatross is based upon the Martin Sea Master, the Excaliber appears to be based on the B-58 Hustler, and the Chronos on the SR-71.

Crackin' good aircraft, they are.
