Just curious as to how an AC-130 series aircraft is undetectable??? I have a buddy that flies them and there is a reason they fly at the high altitude and at night over in the Stan...you never know who is holding a MANPAD that can reach out and touch you at lower altitude. Plus at night its hard to see those dark planes; which disappear as the sun rises over the Hindu Kush mountains.

Its easy to see where the Wildcat got its good looks!   Seriously, I saw this one fly at an airshow a while back and it absolutely stole the show.   Very cool in flight.


aww how cute, it has training wings!

Now, I WIN PERIOD
I still can't figure out how one could brag about thinking such a pedestrian looking plane is most beautiful of all warbirds.  Like comparing Beagle to Greyhound or Doberman.  The only exception is a clipped-wing XIV.

I'll second the Bugatti and YF-23.
