Absolutely! In my books, it's the most beautiful aircraft of all - followed
in a distant second place by the Boeing 727 - the wing on that aircraft is
aeronautical perfection.

The Mystic is the closest second in my book, maybe
tied with the Handley-Page 42.

But nothing beats a Connie...........

Dunno 'bout that - remember, it's 40 years newer in design. I like the
RS-71 (correct designation as I remember the story - Johnson got the
designation wrong when announcing the aircraft to the public and it was
dutifuly re-titled as the SR-71 - can't have a President that's wrong, can
we? ;-) as the best looking recon aircraft.
