O.K. its a slow night....and a lame topic, but you'd be suprised how consistant the top three are..My faves in order
1.Avro Vulcan (real 50's spaceship look)
2.xb-70 Valkyrie(speeling?)
3.SR-71
Fletch,
I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal labotomy...

Concorde should be up there somewhere. Did you know that a concorde can travel faster than a bullet from a gun, which is why they never made a
military version, cos if it opened fire it would shoot itself down!!!!!!!!!!

lol. the inaccuracy of the physics makes me laugh, but not nearly as much as the thought of a concorde in camo.
night shifts suck. time for bed methinks

Concorsds fast but SR-71 is seriously fast. Only once has one been shoot at with a missile and the SR-71 promptly out run the missile.

I have always been impressed with the Caspian Sea Monster for the sheer scale and ingenuity of the thing, not the prettiest craft in the world
though!!!
There is something about all the "wing in ground effect" craft that i like. A kit version would be cool. Hell of a way to pop over to
France for the duty free's on a calm day.
