Yeah. The Electra is a beautiful aircraft.

The winner of the aircraft beauty contest has to be the Constellation, though.

I’m rather partial to another Kelly Johnson design - the SR-71

Certainly true of airliners/transports. The Connie looks organic …

Love the Connie. An Art Deco plane if there ever was one!

Well, I still think the P-51 Mustang is the most beautiful airplane ever built.

“The winner of the aircraft beauty contest has to be the Constellation, though.”

In the 7th grade the class was outside one day. A Constellation flew overhead pretty low and the teacher said, “Look children, A B-52!”
