Neck and neck with the F104 for the coolest looking things made by man.

John Denver’s dad flew them.

I built models of both from (probably) Aurora or Monogram back in the 60s;they were very striking craft.

We built some cool stuff back in the day.

F-104....were called post-hole-diggers.....bad reputation...ended up being the pilot air supply or something, IIRC. Lockheed Starfighter.

As bad as was the B-58... the B-52 was just the opposite, in service now past 60 years, there is no end in sight on it’s service. Any commander in the field will always welcome the BUFF overhead... knowing soon HELL will be unleashed on the enemy!

Agree.

[Still Thinking]

Nah, F-111’s rock!

[elcid1970]

Still an awesome looking machine.

[Kommodor]

I did not know that. I guess that would explain his (in the end unfortunate) fascination with planes and flying.

[al baby]

John Denver was one hell of a pilot

[TalonDJ]

No way. XB-70 hands down.
