Wright Flyer
B-29 (nuked Japan)
U-2 (Cold War Symbol)
Concord
SR-71
Harrier (First real VTOL)
B-52 (if it ever *becomes* "history")
Me 262
X-1
X-15
KC-135


(there are lots of candidates such as the F-4, Mig-21, Zero, P-51,
etc. etc. but I think the above are unique and for that reason will
stand out)

And, perhaps, the most noteworthy aircrafts in history?

Spitfire (Battle of Britain)
DC-3 Dakota (worlds workhorse and lifesaviour)
Fokker Dr.1 (Red Baron)

Just refinding (if that's even a word) this group, In addition to the
tribute to the DC-3 (C-47) I'm glad to see someone point out that the F-4
Phantom should be included. Although my 4 years service in the AF in the
early 70's was primarily SR-71 EMR shop the F-4's were the ones making the
real headlines at the time in SEA. What a workhorse...And I say that with
affection because it saved so many of our guys lives on the ground. Also,
the Concorde - we now have one at the Museum of Flight - what a sight that
machine is and certainly served with distinction!
Thanks...
