Japan's largest loco type. A "Hudson" for passenger operation. Mechanical stoker, but hand fired for the museum shuttles. These were their top express engines ,and very fast.

I remember seeing them fly into Sydney; often the glide path took them over our home in Belmore. Always thought they looked wierd.
Constellations were their main long haul competitor, and were my preferred plane for looks, until the De Havilland Comet came along.

Also loved the look of the Fokker F27 which used to fly for Airlines of NSW. Great little plane to fly in.

My all time favourite plane is the Albatros D.III

Before that it was the super guppy

What about the Soviet Ekranoplan?

FFS I thought this thread would about the 4398545th gender that's been discovered.

Not a real aircraft, but I find Paladin, from Splinter Cell, pretty damn hot.

Part of the Airways Hotel in Port Moresby PNG:

The restaurant at this hotel is open air and overlooks the runway so you can eat and spot at the same time.

Winter arrival into Almaty, Kazakhstan:

 

[Chris Harding]

I'm more of a train nerd than a plane guy, but none the less, I probably got a few semi-interesting photos. Here's the little bugga that took to us to some backwater bits of Alaska about 8 years ago.

This is at Normanton - the old Gulflander.
