B36 Peacemaker.  With an "in-line 8".  Or is it a V-8?  (4 on each side)
LOL!

What is your vote for the best looking aircraft of all time? My vote…

Airbus A380

It isn’t even close. 

I think the A380 is UGLY!

I've owned every version of flight simulator since Flight Simulator 3.0 in 1988.

Windows 11 Pro loaded on a 4TB Gen5 Crucial T700 SSD, 4TB Samsung 990 Pro SSD, Ryzen 9 7950x3d, AS Rock X670e Taichi Motherboard, Gigabyte Gaming RTX 4090 OC 24GB, 64GB (2x32GB) Viper Venom  DDR5-6000MT/s, MSI 32" MAG 321UPX QD-OLED 260hz 4K Gaming Monitor.

 

 

Spitfire for sure, but the best looking GA plane is the V35.

I still vote Staggerwing and F-22, but there's also the Piaggio Avanti, which looks horrendous in most photos but in person? My god, it's like something out of Star Trek.

Three most beautiful from my perspective in no particular order:

- Douglas DC-3

- Messerschmitt Me-262

- Supermarine Spitfire

I like almost every plane but the Citation X usually gets my vote.

Also, most Boeing planes if they can keep their doors on.
