Sountrack: Tom Jobim's "Girl from Ipanema" sung by Astrid Gilberto, with Stan Getz on sax.

Notice how the smooth feminine tones of the vocalist contrast with the peircing blurt of the sax. Puts a chill on my spine.

B-17, i know it's not a jet but i think it's the best looking, but then you got the b-25,... lol so many beautiful planes and in my opinion ww2 had the best looking planes.

[Revanchist8525]

i actually think the b1 lancer looks the best

Yes, the B-47 had some nasty flight characteristics that only experienced pilots could deal with well. The B-52 was a welcome replacement.

@elmerhdga you need to read abookk by john may called 'the greenpeace book of the nuclear age, the hidden history the human cost' this plane the b47 had more nuclear accidents than any other and that means bombs dropped by accident on civillians or lost in crashes and runway accidents, I can provide dates and locations. this plane was a hunk of crap.

Cool music indeed. But it goes better with a Constellation, instead of a Stratojet

[MrDarwinsDog]

Elsewhere I just gave a rant against the music people set to ruin good aero footage. But this, this is just right. And yeah, I'm kind of an old guy now.

I really agree.The b 47 stratojet was and still is the most beautiful bomber plane.
