Nothing with propellers can qualify as a cool looking plane? I know it's ridiculous to argue matters of taste, but allow me to enter into evidence a few more exhibits of "cool" propeller planes:

• P-38 Lightning


• P-61 Black Widow


• Again, the B-36 Peacemaker (which had jets, too, btw, like some bastard offspring of a B-29 and a B-52)


• The Boomerang
• The Long EZ (DIY aviation).


• And, of course, the Voyager

Don't get me wrong, I love jet and rocket planes, too, but I hate to see piston-engined, propeller-driven craft unjustly denigrated. (BTW, if you want to learn how to fly any of the old WWII warbirds, watch the training films here).
