hehe funked...I see you have good taste...

Fw190 looks like a menacing bird. It looks awesome. Seems that the germans really knew to make their designs beautiful and menacing at the same time. Look at a fw190...look at a 109...they look like killing birds.

Same with ships...if you have ever seen at a pic of the Bismarck,
(http://www.warships1.com/GERbb08_Bismarck_40_strbrdfrt-LW.jpg)
it was a beautiful ship with a powerful looking...the british OTOH always made graceful designs (look the spitfire, mean but shows no aggresiveness). If you see a picture of the Hood you'll understand what I mean.
(http://www.warships1.com/BRbc15_Hood_prt.jpg)
A lot of grace and majesty...but Bismark looks...well like needing a kill while hood seems like a graceful cruiser.

Same with Tiger, Panther...

Another good comparison...but I'd have taken SMS Derrflinger. quite a nice ship.

Again Derrflinger looked like a war god. Tiger looked like a graceful ship...

Hblair, I never liked the 109. Just not a very well integrated design. The split flap and radiator combo is very nice though.

The OV-10 is one Awesome Bird, but my favorite has to be the C130 Hercules!
I have 3000+ hours of time as an EC130Q crewman (USN), and I don't think there is a safer, more reliable, or more versatile plane on the planet!
