Cool Doug.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

Nice. But As said before UGLY. Sad

Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.

Sorry but I fail to see what folks find ugly about the Ford Tri-motor or even the Junkers JU52.

I myself find most jets including jet fighters somewhat below the pleasing lines of the old radials... Wink

I can't explain it. Looks somewhat like a mole. (Somewhat cute, but creepy)
