Sir Desmond Glazebrook Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 I find it hard to choose. At a glance....... 1. F-86. 2. P-51D. 3. Learjet. 4. F-18. 5. Grumman Panther. 6. F4U Corsair. 7. B-25. 8. F-4 Phantom. 9. Grumman Tigercat. 10. P-26. 2
Old Dog Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 Tough choice but my top pick would probably be the Lockheed Constellation, a couple that never were built in numbers are the Republic XR-12 Rainbow and the Hughes XF-15. Yeah, I know that's not 10, I'll need more coffee for that. 2
smitty44 Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 Hastily made before my first coffee is done. As a Marine honorable mention always goes to the Hog! 3 1
GusMac Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 In no particular order but..... F-15E F-16C F-101 P-51 P-38 C-5 P-80 F-86 F-111 F-102 I'm sure I'll think of others later but that's the ones that spring to mind first. 3 1
Guest Dekenba Posted April 23, 2020 Posted April 23, 2020 A-10?! I'd go with pretty much any inter-war US aircraft.

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted April 25, 2020 Administrators Posted April 25, 2020 Jarheads (and any ground forces) would marry an A-10 if they could. And I say that respectfully. 4

For me, most interwar planes suffer from too much "Tubby-ness". Whether it's Siemen's Schuckert, or I-16 RATA. Short, squat fuselages just don't do much for me. Even great photography cannot do enough for them. 2

HubertB Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 X-32 ... the « unlucky » competitor to the X-35 ... Even a flying turd on a brick has more sex appeal Hubert PS: I can’t tell why, but in this angle, it reminds me of Sponge Bob 4

Lothar Posted April 26, 2020 Posted April 26, 2020 It's definitely: F4U Corsair any variant F/A-18 but only the legacy ones -A/-C and -D F-4 Phantom any variant That's it - because I said so 3
