One of my objective of visiting Washington DC is to see the beautiful planes at Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum as well as the Steven F Udvar Hazy Centre. These planes are my favourite.
F14 Tomcat - One of the most beautiful fighter aircraft in the work. Retired but still flying in Iran Air Force. Sweep wings and fantastic looking body. The F14 is the base for Macross Valkyrie cartoon / toys. War proven aircraft.
SR71 Blackbird - Nicely designed with sleek bodyline. Aerodynamic as it needs to travel more than 3 times the speed of sound. Black colour for better heat dissipation during high speed travel. Leaking fuel during takeoff and need to refuel for mission.
Mitsubishi A6M zero fighter - Big Engine head. High maneuverability. World War 2 Japanese military dogfighter.
United Kingdom Spitfire - Unique wing design. World War 2 Royal Air Force high performance interceptor.
USA Vought F4U Corsair - Unique wing design. Pilots in the Corsair have achieved a kill ratio of 11:1 against enemy aircraft.
