P51 Mustang

A-340-600

I have tons of other favorites, but these definitely are on the top of my list...a mix of classic with modern :D
 
One of these things is not like the others...One of these things just doesn't belong.......

When did the P51 become classified as an beautiful "airliner"???:rolleyes:

The Concord pretty well trumps all others!:D
 
I suppose I should amend the title to beautiful "flying crafts" .....I stand corrected! :eek:
 
If we're including ALL planes,

Extra 300S (or L):

If not, I second the Concorde!

I'm going to go with three, one of which is already here.

1st: Embraer 190. Just a darn good looking plang

2: Old school: Has to be the Constellation. My dorm room has a huge poster of a TWA Super Connie over NYC. Its awesome. Plus, its cool to be from the town where this one is from

And 3: Cessna Citation (I like the bigger ones). Plus, I can shamelessly plug a picture of mine.

My favorite Airliner by far is the Douglas DC-3. I'm about to build a model of one with Flaps and Retracts and two model four stroke engines. Not the most forgiving plane (as a model). I just think they are so nostalgic looking. I also love tail draggers. I could not imagine ground looping one when you were carrying passengers... "aaaahh sorry about that folks, hopefully you did not spill your scotch."

Should i build the modle as a DC-3....or....should I build it as a C-47?

I like the military paint but the plane looks soooo darn good in shiny silver. I really like the Delta Airline's trim scheme.

Here is the model,
