 Spotted this thread. Earlier on today. But couldn't post. I had asked the same question earlier on in IL2 Forums. And as truth be told. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Considering, when this plane was designed? I have to say that the Bugatti. Has to be achingly beautiful. Just paint it, how you like. You will see what I mean? All other designs posted. I have witnessed. But for pure clarity of line and aerodynamic efficiency within it's purported envelope. It's a "No Brainer"   The only real plane I have ever flown in. |

Where the Hell, did you get my pic? You Troll? Funny thing is? I thought the White 1 foundation. Was a legitimate and serious sight. However you have lost me there!  The only real plane I have ever flown in. |

I think the Hawker Hind would be a serious contender if just looks where in consideration:
 The Bugatti isn't bad either. It and the Hind has a certain aesthetical style in common. |

It is just like Chunkydora said at 12:11: There are some sick, sick people on this forum.   |

Showing indecent pictures like that monstrosity of an aeroplane is nothing less than perverted. ------------------------------------------ "Ah yes, Michael," Bader replied, "But these particular Fockers were Messerschmitts..." |

One more thing. I also think that the Bristol F.2b is ruggedly beautiful, while the Fokker DR (red baron plane) is like a flying queen to me. People often forget about those ol ww1 planes.
Wish there was a good ww1 flight sim. ------------------------------------------ "Ah yes, Michael," Bader replied, "But these particular Fockers were Messerschmitts..." |

FFS guys.
Yet again yous are falling into the "Whatever I can Google" Scene. The Bugatti was born Long before those "Stringbag" Monstrocities.  Only kidding. If that is your "Bag" Well... Guide Dogs for Sale!  The only real plane I have ever flown in. |

Well Chunkydora,
Beauty is just a matter of taste and in the eye of the beholder...     |

They're bout 1930'ies planes, aren't they? |

I'm CHUNKYdora, I of course LOVE those planes!  ------------------------------------------ "Ah yes, Michael," Bader replied, "But these particular Fockers were Messerschmitts..." |

Now I did NOT know that! Just demonstrates the educational value of this forum! As for the SuperGuppy above, I used to see one of these over my neck of the woods flying out of Manchester Airport on a regular basis, however not for several years now, pity.

 Ok fine it's not prop driven, but damn the SR-71 Blackbird is a sweet looking aircraft.  |

IMHO, Leo 451 is one of the "ignored" bomber of WW2,  maybe because it didn't see much action. Well, it's surprising to me to see a pic of it posted in a "most beautiful AC ever built" topic... But maybe i didn't get the joke, for i find this aircraft beautiful.   Regards!  |

That seaplane pictured a couple of posts back... how did that ever get airborne with all that drag? Especially as I can only see three weedy engines!
Or was it just a floating gin palace? |
