Best looking - but what about the noise?!
All very well talking about the best-looking aircraft, but we shouldn't ignore another important aspect - the noise!
For jets, the Vulcan has (had) to be tops (and as my girlfriend said at one airshow "Oh! Doesn't it make your chest throb?" - needless to say, I married her). The rest of the jets just sound alike, apart from the distinctive 'whistling' of the F104 perhaps.
But its the piston props that get my vote everytime - who can ignore the unmistakable sound of a Merlin (or preferably 4 flying in close formation). Also, most aircraft with a radial engine make the ears prick up in appreciation....
Is this a personal perversion, or are there any other aircraft 'noise spotters' out there?!
