I have a confession: I have a thing for Delta-Winged Aircraft...
Wheteher it's the Concrode, the Avro Vulcan, The Space Shuttle, the Gloster Javelin, The B-58, The F-102, F-106, Mirages, Rafale, Eurofighter, Viggen, Grippen, hell, even tailed Deltas like the MiG 21 and F-16 are kind of cool...

1. As another kindred spirit who loves aircraft,
check out the F-16XL.

2. The XB-70 Valkyrie.
In my opinion, the most beautiful aircraft ever fabricated;



The fucker just looks like an airplane.

Damned shame they only completed 2 airframes.

5. Although my favorite is the Rafale...
Edited on Wed Mar-23-11 12:37 AM by TheMightyFavog



I seem to recall the Armee Del L'Aire did some simulated air combat exercises pitting the Rafale against the latest USAF F-16 variant. The Rafales laid some real pwnage on the F-16s.

And the naval Version looks very pretty when landing...
