Opinion, Best LOOKING aircraft?

[Jappa52]

Very tough question to answer as I find it rare to look at an aircraft and think "damn, thats hideous". The one that really appeals to me on several different levels has to be the Phantom


Go fast?! No problem...

    The best looking single-engine prop fighter of WW II is in my opinion the Ki-61, particularly the later, heavier and lower-performance long-nose Kai-Tei, which was often canibalized by ground crews for parts to keep the older, higher-performance short-nose Koh-Otsu-Hei flying...

    The Tei was also used a lot as a kamikaze aircraft, but even the earlier short-nose ones were hardly scorchers at 600 km/h, though for the same power available they were much better than the Me-109E.

As far as Jets go, I always like the looks of this one, BAC Lightning!!!
Very distinctive, very sexy, very British, and very cool!!!

did you know it's initial climb rate was 50k ft per Min . One French test pilot used reheat on take off and before he could retract the under carriage 20 seconds later he was at 20K  . It could climb vertically while accelerating . had a model of one hanging from my ceiling when i was younger.

Be sure SAAB makes some nice looking a/c. I prefer the 37 though.

[sveno]

yes, they do, just the Gripen is not that sexy.

this one was flown by my father, the SAAB J29 "Tunnan" (swedens first jet):
