Xerj,

For me, it's the King Air.


What's GA about a King Air?

Beech Staggerwing.

Best looking Cessna (and that has to be its own category, since most
are so ugly): Cardinal

Best looking modern GA single: Cirrus

Thomas,

forgot a close second contender to the Cirrus: Socata TB-10 Tobago.

Thomas,

Most Cessnas so ugly? What are your thoughts on the AW, BW, DC-6 and
Airmaster? Or the T-50, 177, 195, 210, 310, 402, 421, 425, 441 and
650?

Yeah, when they went to struts on some of them in 1945, esthetics did
suffer, but it saved a lot of weight.

Warmest regards,
Rick

The Airmaster is the best of the lot especially on floats. It makes the
Cardinal look like one of Cinderella's ugly sisters. Not to mention it is
one of the most efficient four place airplanes ever designed and built. The
AW was outstanding for it's day in looks and performance especially in light
of the fact it was designed by a guy with a fifth grade education.

Bonanza (non V-tail) for singles and the Baron for twins.

The Sukhoi 26, of course. And the most fun, too.
