The Italian Macchi 202 always looked like a sexy WWII fighter to me.
One of the most under rated planes of the war.  |

I believe there are no HE-111s flying in the entire world. I heard there is a very good reproduction flying someplace.

Best prop driven craft ever. All you had to do was fly over and your enemies would fall over unconscious: The XF-84H was quite possibly the loudest aircraft ever built (rivaled only by the Russian Tupolev Tu-95 "Bear" bomber[16]), earning the nickname "Thunderscreech" as well as the "Mighty Ear Banger".[17] On the ground "run ups", the prototypes could reportedly be heard 25 miles (40 km) away.[18] Unlike standard propellers that turn at subsonic speeds, the outer 24–30 inches (61–76 cm) of the blades on the XF-84H's propeller traveled faster than the speed of sound even at idle thrust, producing a continuous visible sonic boom that radiated laterally from the propellers for hundreds of yards. The shock wave was actually powerful enough to knock a man down; an unfortunate crew chief who was inside a nearby C-47 was severely incapacitated during a 30-minute ground run.[18] Coupled with the already considerable noise from the subsonic aspect of the propeller and the dual turbines, the aircraft was notorious for inducing severe nausea and headaches among ground crews.[11] In one report, a Republic engineer suffered a seizure after close range exposure to the shock waves emanating from a powered-up XF-84H.[19]
The pervasive noise also severely disrupted operations in the Edwards AFB control tower by risking vibration damage to sensitive components and forcing air traffic personnel to communicate with the XF-84H's crew on the flight line by light signals. After numerous complaints, the Air Force Flight Test Center directed Republic to tow the aircraft out on Rogers Dry Lake, far from the flight line, before running up its engine.[14] The test program did not proceed further than the manufacturer's Phase I proving flights, consequently no USAF test pilots flew the XF-84H. With the likelihood that the engine and equipment failures coupled with the inability to reach design speeds and subsequent instability experienced were insurmountable problems, the USAF cancelled the program in September 1956.[20] |

This one is more in the line of weird stuff. Was helping teach a motorcycle safety class at Moffett Field. We were using part of the ramp at the Bay end of the runway. It was sort of foggy with blobs of fog just drifting around. This thing came ghosting out of one of the blobs and circled around us several times. Creepy quiet.

I suppose sexy is in the eye of the beholder, but these were fun to work on.
 This "airport" was a trip to work at. The runway just kind of fades into the driveway and the county road. We had cars take a wrong turn and drive down the runway during spray operations, and we had planes land on the road and taxi down the driveway because the crosswind was too much. |
