My favourite aircraft of all time was the F 14 Tomcat. I loved this aircraft, was actually sad to see it retire




(The last American F-14 Tomcat aircraft to fly a combat mission arrives on board Sherman Field at Naval Air Station Pensacola, Florida.)

The last F14 landing on a carrier took place a few days ago!

I always liked the Sukhoi SU34 "PLATYPUS" behind the two crew seats in the humped fuselage is a food galley and Toilet! I guess it was needed for the Long Range Missions ?

More or less. It's an interdiction strike aircraft, replaces the Su-24 Fencer (The Mini-F-111)

The XB70 was sexy.
The B1B has something sleek and menacing about it.
The F15E looks mean and nasty and like it'd swat you from the sky.

But it's just no competition. Always got to be the Tomcat.

XR-71 Blackbird, no question.

Fastest and most beautiful and coolest aircraft ever built.
