Always have had a soft spot for the A6 Intruder. I have to scale model A6’s sitting unbuilt at home. If the weather stays like this I may start making them up.

The MD of a company I used to work for flew those in Vietnam. Off an aircraft carrier. At night.

Ive always liked the look of the Bearcat:

And the FW190 that inspired it:

Radials really do it for me baby, yeah!

Generally the German WW2 fighters are more pleasing to my eye

Tiger Moth, because it’s the only aircraft i’ve ever looped a loop in

At the risk of upsetting someone:

I think we’ve seen the Lancaster already on this thread but not a picture of a painting of one converted in this particular way.

One of my first “Airfix” (yes I know its a Revell) models from many, many, many (bomber) moons ago:

There’s a naked fanny on the front of that aircraft 😯

😆

On a more serious note, I’ve always liked these since seeing two fly over really low when I was a kid

TU-144 deserves a mention I guess, so near, and yet so far…

not a complete loss though – NASA tarted one up to run experiments on/in..

Spitfire for me. Its the sound of the Merlin, nothing else comes close.
