What is the most beautiful to you.

Post by Paul »

It does seem as if it is a loaded question but I am sort of curious as to what you would call the most beautiful plane,car, boat or what ever in your eyes. For me there are two planes in particular. 1.Northrop Gamma and 2 the Lockheed Constellation.
I guess I am a sucker for those classic lines and sexy airplanes of the 30's and 40's.

Since this is a PG-13 site I'll behave and not say what came to mind... I am really partial to some of the 50s designs when technology was proceeding at a break neck pace. To my eye, it is really hard to beat an F-104 for sheer beauty. The early Spitfires come close as well.

Aside from the standard P-51 and B-17...the F-86 is great...the F-5 is pretty sexy, with it's "hour glass" figure.
The A-7 is one of my all time favorites...but that's more "ruggedly handsome" than beautiful!

For me I would say it's be a mk.II Spitfire - before the cannons and other modifications started coming in.

I would have to second you there Stu, Mk.I/Mk.II Spitfire for me. For some strange reason, I find the Bf110 mesmerising and I'm not quite sure why!

The DC-3 and the F-86
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
