Not a fighter, but the SR-71 Blackbird is probably the most beautiful machine made by man

I like the F/A-18 and the F/A-22. I like the concept of a plane with a thrust to weight ratio greater than 1, I also love thrust vectoring, it's ingenius.

I agree. One of my favorite books is "Skunk Works" by Ben Rich and Janos? (unsure who else)

It has a lot of right wing sh*t in it, but I love the descrition of how they built the planes.

Another fav. is the XB-70 Valkryie.

Oh definitely, the valkyrie was amazing, well it would have were it not for all those landing gear problems.

Does any one know how the Boeing Pelican is coming along?
