Always liked ground attack aircraft, even as a kid. This was my favorite. Hs 129. Just looks nasty. With the Whirlwind a close second.

Don't know why, but I can't get comfortable with the look of that forward-swept vert stab...

The horizontal is swept forward too. It has a laminar flow wing - sometimes I like to pretend I'm flying a P51. I only go about 1/2 as fast but I only burn 1/6th the gas so I can't complain much.
