October 13, 2018 at 12:02 pmThey are all nice, but no collection of the most beautiful is complete without the Staggerwing Beech.

October 13, 2018 at 5:59 amThe P-180 is beautiful? Interesting maybe, but not beautiful. Same-same with the Starship.
I vote for the Cessna 310L and up.
Eric Ziegler says
October 13, 2018 at 8:33 amAbsolutely! It even SOUNDS great.

October 13, 2018 at 5:25 amThey all work for me…
I’ve never made a tape…
What do I know???
Rod says
October 13, 2018 at 5:05 amMissed the mark by not including at least one of the beautiful sailplanes out there. Take a look!

October 8, 2018 at 4:56 pmI bet you date ugly women too. LOL You are dreaming if you think the original Swift 125 cruised at 180 mph. Some of the ones modified with larger engines, gear covers, etc. will do 180 or close to it. Saying that, I agree that the Swift belongs in the top 10 beauties. Some of your other picks make me wonder. How about the Cessna 180/185 and the 195? Maybe you need to do another video of the Top 100. Really enjoyed watching your video despite disagreeing with some of your picks.
Ron says
October 8, 2018 at 8:50 amHe did a good job picking ten beauties.
The Lancair Columbia 300, 350, 400 series should be on the list. Pick one, since all three are, in the exterior beauty category, identical triplets.
PS: I wonder how many of us had our eyebrows lift a few centimeters when the fellow called a true beauty a “WHAAH-ko” instead of the proper “WAHH-ko”? At least he didn’t confuse the pronounciation with a Texas city’s name with the same spelling, like I did until a kind old-timer set me straight.

October 8, 2018 at 7:49 am“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder” is still true.

October 8, 2018 at 6:30 amHow bout the Beech Stagger Wing ?
Bruce Hinds says
October 13, 2018 at 8:07 amYeah Charlie, he even has a picture of one on the wall behind him, but it didn’t make his video.
Ed Fogle says
October 8, 2018 at 6:15 amWhere’s Cirrus?
Andrew Hesketh says
October 8, 2018 at 5:03 amReplace Aero Commander with Mitsubishi MU-2. Piaggio and Starship are so close in resemblance, I would go with Piaggio only since at least it is flying. Replace Starship with Lockheed Lodestar
Dave says
October 8, 2018 at 4:44 amAmateur at best, the kid can’t even pronounce “Waco” correctly. What a waste of time.
Peter says
October 8, 2018 at 12:33 pmIf only someone like you made the video then it would be perfect!
DO says
October 13, 2018 at 10:58 amThe pilots are Wackos but the airplane is a Waco!
Randy Rogers says
October 7, 2018 at 6:53 pmRemove the Aerostar and put the Staggerwing in!
Len says
October 7, 2018 at 4:39 pmYes the 400 ls is a beauty and with the updated engines an amazing aircraft
