Best looking aircraft
 
I does like Aeroplanes.

The MiG-25 looks the biz...Brutal...and fast...a real sledgehammer.

A GSXR-1100 of jet fighters.

The quintessential jet fighter has to be this

F104 Starfighter 1

But if it’s just the “right look” for a war plane then

P38

is pretty close, but my fav has to be,

Mosquito Mk. IV

For me, it has to be the B1

Nearly the size of Concord, but dark grey/black :twisted:

I singed my eyebrows trying to take photos of one of these - got too close to the afterburners when the pilot ran up the engines for takeoff :shock:

not a fighter, but I think this fits the "gsxr1100 of the sky" tag better

Oh, and been up in both of these.
