I ain’t even gonna lie. I didn’t even read the first post. I just wanted to post the Concorde.
I do like a 154, I've flown to Bulgaria twice with Balkan on 154s.The Tupolev TU-154 doesn’t get enough love…
Mmmmhhhh…. anhedral…..
…especially when flown by legends like this…
What do you mean it's one lonnnnggg boi? Granted it's longer than a B737 and A320 but other than that it's shorter than even an A330 or B767.
Stunning aircraft, and a lot of people think it should have won over the 22. Shame it lost out! Would love to see one static or flying !YF-23, the F-22's bigger, badder and sadly more expensive brother.
I had a model one in the early nineties, it was like something from the future, words can't even express it.
An article for you about the 23!
This Is What A Northrop F-23A Would've Looked Like If It Had Beaten Lockheed's F-22
Many argue that the YF-23 should have been selected over the YF-22 and these exclusive renderings show what a production F-23 would have looked like.

I love me a Tornado and a Jaguar, they are beautiful in a rugged way that flips switches for me.
For outright pure beauty, however, it has to be Concorde. As my Grandfather - who was a training/test pilot for them back in the 70s - says, it was simply the best.

The 330 and 76 both have girth. X-section on the flying pencil is almost half the area of the 76. I'd guess the 330 is similarly chonky.

Not sure why someone felt the need to remove the landing gear from that photo…

I did think it looked weird. I've removed the picture now after that betrayal
Looks like they forgot to remove the foam packing material from the air brake!
