sexiest airplane ever built?

[Just another canuck]

P.S. One of the above pilots was a student pilot. Can you guess which one?

Ummm... don't know. Is someone trailing... him maybe.

And sorry about your ban Hedley ... don't know the story behind that. Good luck at the hearing... that's coming up right?

Here's one for Hedley...in 1:32 scale

Pretty hard to beat the Citation 750 for a working airplane

[Hedley]

The L-39 has a very pretty nose and fuselage
(if you can ignore the 0.8 mach straight wings!)

Spitfire made number one and the Staggerwing number two according to Plane and Pilot.

If your just going out to play its hard to beat a 360 hp Pitts Special

Those are actually all ex-Canadian aircraft:

632 (D model, from Lockheed)
759, 850 (Canadair-built CF-104)

Too bad they aren't flown by Canadians, but I suspect
if a Canadian tried, that would be "banned" too

hard to find a good picture of this beauty, but between this and the p51D, they have my votes.

Maybe not the sexiest aeroplanes ever built, but the sexiest aeroplanes anyone can rent in Canada are the Diamond series from the Katana through the Eclipse and Star to the TwinStar.
All elegant and aerodynamically pleasing.

Otherwise, the CAP 10 has my vote.

Let's think of accessible aeroplanes!

Two of the sexiest aeroplane models I have are the Vickers VC10 and the Concorde, both of which have my stamps of approval (literally, I worked at BAC and BAe!).

Monocoupe, a classic aeroplane in classic colours.
I painted one of my Condors in those colours:



They faded

Here's a performer...

Ok...the Monocoupe takes it for me.

just to be a little patriotic

I am there with you....

Too bad they've all been melted down....

DISQUALIFIED! The CF-104 is just a missile that a person sits in. It's not an airplane.

For me it's a tie between these 2. Such classic art deco lines- it's almost like they were designed by Bauhaus.

Has the Beech Staggerwing been mentioned yet?



Apparently I dont know how to add an image, but its a cool airplane nonetheless.

[Mitch Cronin]

Sexiest? ... F-16.

A few times already... and it made #2 on the Plane and Pilot mag list.

I had Grandfather who flew the recon version of these, got his certificate for '25 Missions' over Germany and everything.

If it is sexy we are looking for this unit fits the three F's of pilot fun things to do.

Flying, fishing and fornicating all in one unit.
