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

Or a nice crosswind landing. Cool

Used to see them in San Antonio back in the '80s a lot going right over my house on final. Then it was B-1's and then C-5's, and then I moved here where it's sometimes the odd jet at 20k or better. Cry

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. Grin

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. Cool

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.

Uhh, there's far too many, Dassult 900EX and a nice flexing 773 are great.

Learning to fly, but I ain't got wings...

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?

My system: AMD Phenom 9500 cpu, 2 x eVGA e-GeForce 8800GTS Superclocked vidcards (640Mb DDR3 each), Zalman "sunflower" 9700 fan, Gigabyte GA-M57SLI-S4 mobo, 4Gb G.Skill PC2-6400 DDR2 800Mhz RAM, 2 x Sony 20X DVD writers, Thermaltake Toughpower 850W modular p/s, 7 x 120mm fans, Windows XP Home and SP3, 2 x 250Gb Western Digital SATA-300 HDs (1 for apps, 1 for storage and precious files backup), CoolerMaster CM 690 case, NOD-32. Won't run FSX. Locks up a lot with FS9, too.

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.
