Of Hunters

I'm with Tam.

The Hawker Hunter is very nearly the prettiest of the '50's jets.

The Douglas F4D Skyray is also very attractive.

    I can never decide between the F4D and F9F.

    The Panther is pretty. I think the A4D Skyhawk is pretty attractive but in part because when I was younger, the Blue Angels performed in them.

      Although by the time the Angels took up the Skyhawk it was the A-4F with the "Super Fox" mods. The A-4F is the first Skyhawk that never had an A4D designation; the last was A4D-5 which was redesignated A-4E when MacNamara's system kicked in.

      Personally I prefer the longer nosed versions of the Scooter.
