AT-6On the ground, a T-6 Texan looks anything but fun. The first time I flew a Texan, 20 years ago out of Santa Paula, Calif., with the late Doug Dullenkopf, I expected to have my hands full with a heavy, unwieldy beast.

Which of the following military aircraft do you think is the sexiest?

P-51D Mustang
B-2
SR-71 Blackbird
F-16
F-22
