I always liked the RA-5C Vigi and the Lockheed Super Connie among many others. P-51, P-38, F-14, B-47, and a special mention of the B-17G. A night launch of an F-14 off cat 1 in full burner was a thing of beauty.This message has been edited. Last edited by: NavyAgShooter, | |||

 Bugatti 100P. So sexy, especially for the 1930s. Horten Ho 229. So advanced, it still looks pretty contemporary. Ford Tri-Motor. Probably not on many lists for "prettiest", but there is something so satisfying about the lines and the exposed radials.Edit: going to resize the one pic. | |||

SR-71  I wouldn't call the SR-71A, the one in the middle, pretty. I would say it's the most attractive though. That's an A-12 on the left and a YF-12A on the right, correct? | |||

Lots of good choices out there, but these do it for me: Military favorite (loved the movie "Strategic Air Command!!)...  Civilian favorite (no other civilian aircraft is sexier!!)...  "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

Eventually these threads end up as a compilation of every plane made. Might as well throw in one of my favs, the F86 Sabre. It exudes dogfight vibes.  Demand not that events should happen as you wish; but wish them to happen as they do happen, and you will go on well. -Epictetus | |||

Gorgeous! I think the Doll is no more; it was the P-51 that was hit midair by a Douglas Skyraider. | |||

When I was stationed in Japan in 1972-3, the JASDF (Japan Air Self Defense Force) was still flying Sabres. VERY pretty aircraft for sure. Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent. | |||

Along the lines of the P-38, the P-61.  I like the looks of the earlier version better. Sleeker, as seen in the beginning of the video.

I'm not sure exactly why, but ever since I was a little kid, I've loved the F4U Corsair.  | |||
