Sexiest Ever Planes...
OK - just an idea for a picture thread (hope that ok mods..).

What planes (from any era/nation) are the best looking planes ever to have existed?

My top two Brit planes are the Spitfire and the Vulcan. Just love the ellegance of the Spitfire and the almost Sci-Fi looks of the Vulcan.

Much as I hate to admit it - I do love the look of the Rafale too...
And the Eagle is still - imho - the best looking of the Western fighters of that era...

I know it wasn't mass-produced but the "X-series" planes count?

If so, the X-29 always looked cool to me....

Uh, no, it's a Vulcan as he said. It looks nothing like a Nimrod. That Yak-141 is no raving beauty either...

LCA is a Mary Ann. Gripen's a Ginger...

Just you I think...

As for best looking jets, how about the Hunter?


And for comedy value...
