Most beautiful Navy jet ever?

Ed,

I will have to agree with you on that one. In flight, the Viggie was one
pretty bird. A Viggie on final and trapping was another story.... Kiss the
deck and thank the air gods....

I'd have to go with the one on top.

While the paint jobs are good, both aircraft are loaded with too many
engines and too many crewmembers, not to mention all those lumps,
bumps, proturbences and projections. They might even be some British
design rejection that was insufficiently ugly and abandoned in favor
of a Buccaneer.

No, the most beautiful Navy jet ever was the A-5 Vigilante--it also
had an overabundance of engines, etc, but it was beautiful.
