Your top 10 most beautiful American aircraft.


Recommended Posts

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.

A-10?!

 

I'd go with pretty much any inter-war US aircraft. 

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.

I'm no expert, but he's looks to be coming back in a tad fast? I hope it has good brakes.

Well, he’s taking off with full reheat, so I’d say he has no intention of landing anytime soon.
