    The A-10 is one AWESOME airplane.

    I also love the look of the Apache and Comanches...

      Bah! The P-51 Mustang is the greatest propeller-driven aircraft built!
      It's a bit mean to pit the Spit against the Mustang since it is effectively next generation technology.

                          That's a real looker. I thought the pic of the F 15 was a really good one too.

                            If we're talking bombers, the Convair B 58 Hustler is pretty hard to beat lookswise.

                              ah yes, i used to think these looked cooler than the former YF-22, but i have since recanted, and think the F-22 is cooler. Tho, this design is still... interesting, atypical to say the least.

                                Not all looks, either. I believe it beat the F-22 in all aspects save for low speed handling. Unfortunately, Northrop-McDonnell Douglas was having issues with it's B2 contract, and some of the higher ups didn't want to go through that again.
