TB99 0 #54 September 22, 2003 LM F-22 Raptor ... sexy sexy airframe! A very close second is the RS-71 Blackbird (that was it's original name, the US President mispronounced it on it's debut and it's been SR-71 ever since!). I guess as far as sexiness goes, for third I love the aggressive sexy look of the F-16 Viper (incorrectly called Falcon). Looking at that thing dead on is awesome! Trailer 11/12 was the best. Thanks for the memories ... you guys rocked! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jeremyneas 0 #56 September 22, 2003 Everyone is close but not there. When the POTUS steps on an aircraft it automatically becomes Air Force One. Along those lines, when Jeremy Neas steps into any aircraft it becomes "Sexiest Airplane EVA" What through most people off was the term EVER. Most people would have gotten this right if the proper spelling was introduced from the beginning. J.Neas Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looking at that thing dead on is awesome! I agree 100%. But I don't understand the "Viper" versus "Fighting Falcon" part. The Air Force's own bit calls it the Falcon (http://www.af.mil/history/70s_80s/airpower/f-16.shtml). Where does Viper come from?So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

Heh...I thought I was the only geek that knew that. Ya' have to give it up to LBJ. I learned that at an early age, from my father, who briefed the pilots of those birds at Spangdalhm *sp?) AFB, Germany, right after loading 'em with film, in the early 60's. I just get tired of correcting people who correct my saying "RS". I ended up giving up and just saying "SR" off the bat. Seems most don't want a history lesson, when the designation of SR is the one that stuck. ~sigh~It's your life, live it!

Gawain 0 #61 September 22, 2003 Now here's a question, before it was publicly noted as the SR-71 (RS) it was developed as the A-12 and YF-12 right? ..and for a time, it operated as an A-12 with the CIA? Is my history on target here?So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

Unstable 9 #62 September 22, 2003 I vote Neither - The Sexiest Airplane in the world (or at least the one that gets me all excited) is a DeHavalland DHC-3 Twin Otter, with Big Engines and a Stereo System.
