Damn, I love the Thud, the Rhino, the Spad, the Vigilante, the Bronco, the Mohawk, the Crusader, even the Skyknight and Skywarrior... I grew up with the Vietnam War on, and I read all my elder brother mags (Air International, later it changed name). I fell in love with those.
Valkyrie, Delta Dart, oh, and also the Vautour, Mirage, Super-Mystère B.2, Hunter, Canberra...
When the F-16 came up I knew aviation had gone the drain 
Shit, computers are so good to write in forums, why spoil things by using them to design planes!? |
Gee, Za, those are all really nice airplanes. However, after your first post, I thought you'd give us another monster. Oh well, I'll take the liberty...the "Bruce Spence
from
Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome" Transavia PL 12 Airtruck...Quite an ugly bird, heh?
Then again, I really can't decide what's uglier...the Airtruk or Bruce Spence (his green-toothed smile as the gyro captain in
The Road Warrior).
