Crap I can’t believe I didn’t put down the SR-71 blackbird for 10. I really do think it’s the coolest plane ever, though the mosquito isn’t far behind, IMO. ---

Before you score this, you may want to check with some of the experts on terminology. “B-2” and “Stealth Bomber” are different names for the same plane, for example. ---

To expand on **Robot Arm** ’s suggestion: I’d like to point out that the USN Airships were either actual Zeppelins, from Germany, or derived from their designs, so a disinterested person could argue that my claim for the _Macon_ is the same as other people’s claims for Zeppelins in general. I say this as a completely disinterested commentator, of course. 😉 ---
