What makes an airplane "cool?" Suffice it to say, we know it when we see it. It just kind of hits you. Almost all of the airplanes here do something really differently (whether subtle or in-your-face). (www.flyingmag.com) Altro...

How about including an airplane not much smaller and one that was in active service until just several years ago: The JRM Martin Mars Flying boat? Given its length of active service, I consider that one much more impressive...just saying!
Valid... yet the Mars wasn't made out of plywood... ;-)
Ha, true! ;)
