Poll: best looking GA prop plane of all time?

For me, it's the King Air.

Other opinions?


Beech Staggerwing, closely followed by Cessna 195

Four engine: DeHaviland Heron.

One of my favorites as it looks like a 3/4 scale DC-6. Now if it just
had round engines... Always had a soft spot for Beech 18s and Twin
Bonanzas too.

Yes, compared to a Wilga.

This thread, and the ugly thread, have been driving me bonkers. Nobody posts

Beats the Cirrus, not to mention any spam can, hands down.

Lancair 320/360. They even hung one over the entrance of the
Smithsonian when they did a show on form and function.

Me three.

Although I have to give the Switft a tie with the Beech Staggerwing.

Swift = best looking prop single monoplane
Staggerwing = best looking prop single biplane

I didn't think it was that hard to type "Wilga" into the Google search
box. Sorry to cause you so much extra work and mental stress.

No, the wasp waste designs are ugly. I'd rather have a Cirrus, that a
Diamond Star from a purely aesthetic perspective, however, I'd rather
have a Falco than either of them.

Oops, meant waist, although those designs are also somewhat of a waste. :-)

For one or two posts - not a problem. For many, many, many posts, each one
requiring a trip to Google ...and then a trip *through* Google - yes, more
of a problem.

Also, if a person takes the time to research and post a link, then 100's of
lurkers won't have to ...(x) how many plane references in the two threads?

Be nice to the lurkers. :-)

BTW, my vote - 1946 Ercoupe 415 C
