    The GEE Bee racer is awesome! It's an engine with a seat strapped to it!

    McDonnell XF-85
    Messerschmitt ME-163 Komet
    Martin X-24A (1969)

        My two favorites go back to a TV show and a movie that I watched over and over in my youth.

        Northrop M2-F2 Lifting Body Infamous for its crash landing in the opening sequence of The Six Million Dollar Man.



        Bell UH-1 (Iroquois) Huey Col. Kilgore's ride of choice in Apocalypse Now.

        Death From Above, Baby!

          But I need to add the SR-71 to the list. As a kid, I was fascinated with that plane... it seemed like it was something from the future.

          Can't believe I didn't mention that one...

          While we are on the subject of reconnaissance aircrafts...how about the Lockheed U-2 (Dragon Lady)...



          It's almost like a powered-glider on steroids...

            I also like the chopped-nose Soviet MIG's from the 50's and 60s...like the MIG-19...

              The Apache copter is pretty baddass too...




              But the one that takes the cake is the Comanche...it screams sci-fi...

                  One of my faves, not as extreme as the Bee Gee, but in a similar style is the Polikarpov I-16.


                  For coolness, P-38 Lightning.


                  Love the ME 163, but also the graceful lines of the ME 262, the first operational jet fighter.


                  One more... For pure manace, the Hind gunship.
