I'll give PRM his due. Seeing these guys on your wing you always knew they had your back from 100 miles in.

But I'll dance with the girl that brung me. The mighty EA-6B built by the Grumman Ironworks (cripes - I had black hair 25 years ago, no wait, I had hair at all!)

Cant't forget my old ride as I flew several tail numbers but they always brought me home safely although a tad ventilated now and then.

Beauty, as they say, lies in the eyes of the beholder. That being said I have to nominate the P-39 and the PBY Catalina as one and two of the most aesthetically pleasing of all aircraft nominated thus far. The "Connie" would be close in there also. These planes seem to fly on the ground, or water.
