Don Tuite writes: DC-3 Historically significant, perhaps (to put it mildly). But good-looking, much less *best* looking? Personally, I'd go with the Concorde, hands down. If there's an "Other Than the Concorde" category, my nomination would be the VC10. Geoff -- "Why _not_ go to war just for oil?" -- Ann Coulter |

Concorde - end of story. All the others are boring.
What about the TU-144; (or is it TOO "indentical-twin"-ish? Or that SST Boeing was going to build in the 1960's? Or the "Sonic Cruiser" they were going to build until a few months ago? |

G I assure you, sir, that my opinions are based solely on rational, unemotional, non-biased studies of the aesthetic qualities of airline transport-type aircraft! I am appalled you would imply any ulterior motives for my humble obsevations Happy Flying! Scott Skylane |
