Always thought a Culver Cadet was a cool looking little plane. And of course
I like Luscombes

Any open cockpit wood/rag biplane beats all of the nominations I have
seen so far.

xerj,

Good question.

Hmm, Biplane: Beech 17 Staggerwing series. Monoplane: Cessna AW
(Cessnas never had wing struts until 1945) or Cardinal, military, the
Mk. IX Spitfire. Twin biplane: DeHavilland Dragon Rapide. Twin
monoplane: DeHaviland Mosquito or early Cessna 310. Three engine:
Stinson trimotor (high wing version, the low wing was hideous) or
Boeing 727. Four engine: DeHaviland Heron.

Cheers,
Rick

Xerj,

For me, it's the King Air.


What's GA about a King Air?

Beech Staggerwing.

Best looking Cessna (and that has to be its own category, since most
are so ugly): Cardinal

Best looking modern GA single: Cirrus

jmho,
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. IMHO, the Cirrus can't hold a
candle to the Cardinal when it comes to good look. Our Cardinal will
the best looking plane on any field after its paint job ;-)

Hai Longworth, a proud Cardinal owner.
