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. |

Concorde was the one. I never tired of watching it come and go.

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  Data for Mosquito Mk. IV Length: 40 ft 4 in Weight: 21462 lb Powerplant: Two Rolls-Royce Merlin 21 or 23 twelve-cylinder 60 degrees Vee liquid-cooled engines each rated at 1460 hp Armament: Four 20 mm cannons and four 0.303-caliber machine guns Ordnance: 2000 pounds Top speed: 380 mph Range: 2040 miles Ceiling: 34000 ft Climb rate: 2500 ft/min

For me, it has to be the B1
 Nearly the size of Concord, but dark grey/black 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
