D-18 Twin Beech

And in the 'so ugly only a mother could love it, but it needs to be on every great airplane list': C-130 in all it's wondrous variants (although I'm partial to the MC-130H) throughout its 60 year (and counting) production

You are right!
An oversight for me to be sure.
The Valkyrie was truly an impressive plane way ahead of its time and its design still looks futuristic to this day.

This Nazi stealth plane (Horten Ho 229) is pretty neat looking. Seems ahead of its time somehow, though I'm welcome to being set straight on that!
