sexiest airplane ever built?

[bandaid]

Funny but this aircraft could go in either catagory in recent threads.

[GilletteNorth]

I think the CL415 is sexy, and here it is "dumping it's load". Now isn't that sexy?

[catan man]

Aircraft or not sexy, they are machines. They certainly may catch ones eye, but they are not sexy.

[linecrew]

Ouch! Who invited the party pooper....?

You're right in that fornicating with an aircraft is generally frowned upon and in this cold weather can potentially lead to an embarassing 9-1-1 phone call...but lighten up man.

[Prairie Chicken]

I could vote for the SR-71 Blackbird, but the B-2 Spirit is pretty sexy too & I don't think it's been mentioned here yet. My vote would have to go to the vintage Corsair!

I didn't have the patience to read everyones choice. There were many good suggestions for maybe your "favourite plane"... but the question was sexiest. Here is my choice:

North American XB-70 Valkyrie

Besides looking nice it cruises at Mach 3.0; top speed is higher.

For me it's that one that has Catherine Zeta-Jones on top of the wing.

LOL, you put the 1900D in the wrong thread...although the twin Beech types from the 18 all the way up are pretty sexy, this is the ugly fat sister of the fleet. I mean, geez, the thing's got a frikin forehead for pete's sake!

I love watching FPUB take off!

The replacement they had for awhile in 2006 was better though, good lord that thing was loud.

They built one example, an 8W I think they called it, with a 1340 up front. That thing must have been some machine.

O.K....I'm the FNG...I was told of this website but never paid attention.....So, my vote is with BrokenWing. The Grumman Tigercat is SO COOL. If you would like to see one for real up close and personal you must attend the Reno Air Races. Last Sept. I attended the races for the first time and there were two of them there. One was parked in the display area but one WAS RACING. These are extremely rare aircraft and for an owner to actually put the time, effort, and money into entering such a machine into the fray of unlimited air racing is nothing short of amazing. The Tigercat did not win or place in the top 5 in the unlimiteds but he may have well done so intentionally. He was always back 5 or 6 places but when he came by the stands the sound of those two radials was wonderful. If a competitor was flying a P51, a Sea Fury, Bearcat, Hellcat, etc. and was trying to pass the Tigercat his wake turbulence may well send them into the dirt max. nix. I'm just guessing but I would bet that situation would have been a big point of discussion at the pilot race meeting before the race. I have no idea of what kind of arrangements would have had to be made as wake turbulence is quite a big issue at those low alitudes and high speeds on a closed course. Anyway, BIG, BLACK,FAST, and NOISY. Just SEXY...
P.S. #2 is the P-38 Glacier Girl was also at Reno. The flypast featured....get this for SEXY....F22 Raptor, P51D, P-38 Lightning.... in formation flight....For Reno 2009 Section 3 Hi to the Air Canada goofs and Calgary ATC We had a great time.
