Prettiest plane in my logbook?
Got to fly this when I had gotten my license just 3 months earlier. The owner is one of the friendliest guys I know. There was someone up front, of course.

:rotfl:He claims to be a Sir, but he is in the navy, so I'm speculating a ma'am would be fine as well.

I've had various people wrinkle their nose at me and tell me "but it's old"...I don't care. We're getting new avionics this month so that I can go direct to places and shoot the approach here when the weather is less than 1100/3, and it has an...imposing ramp presence.Nice Twin Bonanza!
I just realized I hate you all.
Any ride the girls like is my favorite!

Hmm. Tie.

Doug, just to be clear, they did say prettiest looking. Somehow maybe you missed that.
Did you really flew HB-GAF?? Any idea where that plane went?
Both of those airplanes are also the best flying airplanes I've ever flown. The Martin was so perfectly balanced, it seemed - not to mention that you make a hell of a racket blasting off. The Twin Bonanza doesn't make quite as much racket, but she's distinct, and a very stable instrument platform with a heavy feel. Not to mention good short field performance.Oooooh, both nice planes and old school. Spiffy paintjob on the Seminole/Twin Bonanza.
And certainly one that saw a lot of our nation's modern history, too. Making me get all sentimental thinking about it.That's got to be one of the sexyest liner of all times...

That is the original paint scheme...and the one she still bears.
Both very beautiful birds....
I am so spoiled it's ridiculous.
I mean, all the birds in the thread are beautiful birds in their own way; and truth to tell, everyone has a "best looking" airplane in their individual logbooks as "best looking" varies person to person just as ice cream flavors do.
For my own logbooks, its hard to pick out just one.
I'll do one better, I can tell you not only where it is, but the status of its annual inspection and panel upgrade, along with current registration number.
This is just off Airliners but I used to fly a few of these in 1999 and 2000.
