Mitsubishi A5m prototype. Beatiful.

Focke Wulf A8

The Yak-9T is awesome.

Japs had good taste for designs to rip off.

Avro Lancaster, my great grandpa was a navigator in ww2, they flew over 25 missions from London over Germany, they got their gunner shot and killed, he had crazy stories

This one

...

...

That's a big plane.

b-17 my nigga

I don't have a favorite. I like all types and sizes of planes.

Mother of fuck, I miss Tomcats.

...

This shit clocks 420 mph, minimum, at all times

Sr-71

Love a good pair of big Jugs

tu-22

*Jericho trumpets intensify*

Hearing this thing in person is so unreal.

Dem props are loud

The Blackbird Killer.

The last time I lived in Las Vegas, my house was about 300 yards from the Nellis fence. Whenever they'd bring the B-52s out and spin up the engines, we'd feel the ground rumble like an earthquake before we'd hear the sound. Wickedly impressive power.

where to start

how about the queen?

this user has the right idea

Lockheed SR-71

Sure is War Thunder in here

>BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT

Indeed a nice plane.

Of the WW2 machines, the Messerschmitt Bf 109 is my favorite plane, due to the fantastic badass engine sound.

The SR-71 Blackbird is the most beautiful and fascinating plane of all time.

> U mad when their designs was better

It's okay you got your revenge with hunger games

All these plebs in here, worshipping inferior travel methods. Rigid airships ftw

F-5 Tiger

more for what it could do than how it looked
these bitches were awesome

Whatever you say, Yuki.

The Martin Mars used in ww2 for supply drops, tanks, jeeps etc. Still used retrofit to scoop water and drop on fires.

>MiG-28

su-35

The Kyūshū J7W1 Shinden (震電, "Magnificent Lightning")

Here the Martin dropping water

Are you fucking crazy!

I like Ki-61 more.
Generally planes with inline engines are prettiest.
Thanks Corsair for saving USN from those horrible looking Grummans.

I took this pic of an F-15 parked infront of my shop a few months back.

...

109s do sound badass, imagine hearing that shit fly over in WWII

The Money Pit.

Southwest 737

Yes yes a thousand times yes

My negroid compatriot.

My nigga.
B-17, B-29 and P-51 were all ahead of their time. I'll give props to the A6M Zero as well considering how behind in aviation technology Japan was when they designed it.

I'll pick the often-overlooked B-70 Valkyrie. The technical specs on this thing are just incredible, especially considering it was designed in the 60s. Shame it never went into production due to budget constraints.

>The Yak-9T is awesome.

German pilots had orders to avoid engaging those.

the new Boeing 787 Dreamliners are being built at the airport I work by. Saw this thingy from take its maiden flight

F 4U Corsair

Bockscar

>B-29

B-29 was the prototype of all modern commercial airliners. And the engines designed for it I think are still in service.

Sabre

The introduction of the first Soviet surface-to-air missiles in the late 1950s put the near-invulnerability of the B-70 in doubt. In response, the US Air Force (USAF) began flying its missions at low level, where the missile radar's line of sight was limited by local terrain. In this low-level penetration role, the B-70 offered little additional performance over the B-52 it was meant to replace. It was, however, far more expensive and had shorter range. Other alternate missions were proposed, but these were of limited scope

Not to mention it was the world's first long-range high-altitude strategic bomber.

Number One recommended Commie blood spiller. Fucking brilliant.

Got lots of favourites so here's one of them

>Best known for failing utterly

ugly piece of expensive worthless shit

Gulfstream G550, cleanest wing design, small but big.

C-47, DC-3 or Spooky gunship? What's your favorite?

You copy and pasted that from Wikipedia.

In any case, I never said it would have been useful at that phase of the Cold War. But it had the ability to cruise at Mach 3, at more than 60,000 feet altitude over a range of more than 6,000 miles while carrying a payload of 50,000 lbs. No other aircraft in history, including present day, can match that, despite the fact that it's 50 years old.

Better then the F-22

Nice dubs Tim

Lockheed Hudson.

There was one in St. Paul at the U of M lightning research center. I use to go down and play in it when I was a kid, until it was shipped off to the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force in Dayton Ohio.

...

Damn file....

You better take that back you whore. The F-22 is the best in the world at what it does

Boeing 737

You mentioned that it was cancelled for budget reasons, I copied that from wiki to show that the design became obsolete for what it was designed for.

*than you pleb

>better sensors than any other fighter in the world
>better electronic countermeasures than any fighter except the EA-18 Growler
>better combat radius on internal fuel than any other fighter
>better stealth than any fighter except the F-22 Raptor
>better weapons payload and at least 40% cheaper than the F-22
Definitely worthless shit.

At least the F-22 looks cool

Who doesn't love the Catalina

>beat by F-15 in simulated dogfights

Worthless.

You're barking up a tree. I never disagreed with that.
