    And I'm sorry, but no jet can vie for the title of the most beautiful aircraft.

    Lots of British aircraft on here
    I heard that Freddie Kruger's (Robert Englund) dad was a part of the team that designed the F104, anyone want to confirm this please?

    I was amazed when I had a chance to actually touch the leading edge of F-104 wing. Sharp as a knife. No wonder they had to attach protection for the ground crew over them, or many people could get seriously hurt.

    With the exception of the Spitfire, the British have a fetish for ugly airplanes.

    I mean have your looked at the Blackburn Skua??

    It fell out the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down...

    Now a Spartan Executive is just class on the wing.

    How dare you:

    Well, maybe you're right after all.

    You have to admit the De Havilland Hornet I posted earlier is a looker though.

    Those other airplanes are nice, but even MysticPuma has to admit that here are two examples of the most beautiful warbird ever.
