One more. I guess it's more conecpt, but still.

Beautiful pictures, all this in what? About 100years?!?

Ever since I was a little kid, the F117 has been my favorite plane. It is just so flipping cool and menacing looking. Looks like something Darth Vader would fly.

The 117 is beautiful. So futuristic for it's time, and even today. F-22 looks old school compared.

The technological speed is insane. Imagine ww3 and what advancements it would briing. Of course no one wants ww3, but it would bring monster tech.

I always loved the SR-71. Habu is a helluva aircraft. Probably the gear-head in me.

Speaking of ugly, I have a soft spot for the A-10 Warthog. How crazy do you have to be to build a plane around a cannon?

I dont see no ugly in them shots. They all beauties to me.

I always see people say the A10 is ugly, I've always thought they look pretty freaking cool. I like how different it is from most military planes.

It has one job and it does it well. More in tune with countries with no air defence. If a real war broke out we wouldn't see it's presence.

Ray Torrick would have survived too but a small cheap clip failed on his helmet and he drowned. Seattle Museum of flight has a D-21 mounted on a blackbird
