Once the worlds fastest production fighter.
Sexy by merit.
And @schurem, that does not change my mind!

That must be why they cancelled the VTOL Mirage III V then!

Oh come on, the family model is a freaking abomination of something that was already edging towards the lumpy and brutish.
@Victork2 you are a freak and a pervert and therefore I expect nothing less of you than to love the curves-in-the-wrong-places buccaneer over the perfection of a machine that looks not only pretty but also cute as a button, as if it’s a disney character while toting enough hate to pull off a Coventry with just a four-ship.
That mirage is… chef’s kiss @Freak .

When it comes to ‘sexy’ aircraft, machines that embodied form and function, we have to go back to the decades that gave us Art Deco and the Schneider Cup…

Again, Flying Stations did the Sea Fury - I like flying it in VR. They did both a 32 and 64bit version. Alongside their several aircraft carrier releases.
I’m also lucky enough to have come across an archive of Flight International magazines. Can’t remember where I got them now, but they go waaay back and reading all the old stories is like a memory lane drug trip! Nostalgia on steroids. Just finished reading an article about the then stagnant Indian Air Force and what they were doing, or hoped to do, or should be doing to take it forward with more modern airframes.
Very interesting read.

If I’m gonna get killed by 10 snake eyes being dropped on me, its your duty to at least make the plane look scary.
Id be furious if i was killed by the teapot from beauty and the beast

That used to be so good. These days… barely worth the subscription fee.
Which is why the Intruder is such a perfect design. It not only bombs you back to the stone age with its load of 24 unguided Mk-82’s, it also humiliates you by looking like a Disney toy!

Victor bombers use the same technic to fly as some helicopters. They fly because they are repelled by earth
