This week's Meaningless Topic (#33) (April 24)

[Rodger Pettichord]

Hi all. Last week's discussion of planes got me to thinking of the planes I love to look at. So I made a list of what I see as the most beautiful planes. And that leads to this week's topic (please forgive the pile of download images littering the last lines. I still haven't figured out how to get an image without that double entry).

 

THIS WEEK'S MEANINGLESS TOPIC (#33): What planes do you think of as most beautiful under the following categories (bad news is that this will take time and effort. Good new is you can't be wrong ).

1.  BIPLANES                          2. PRIVATE SINGLES       

3. PRIVATE TWINS              4. PRIVATE JETS

5. AIRLINERS                         6. CARGO

7. WARBIRDS                         8. MILITARY

The only thing I'd change is moving the Sukhoi to first place.
