I am afraid to say I would be the exception to the rule and find them ungainly and just a little ugly.

Sacrilege!:eek::eek::eek:

I love the older ones (A-C models) with straight tails a uncanted tip tanks and the first ones with swept tails. (BTW: Hallmark cards made its annual classic airplane Christmas tree ornament a 310D in 2009. It’s a very well done model).

Not a huge fan of the later 60s models, they went from having to short and pointed nose, to a too long of one in the final variants.

310s, Beech Barons, Aero Commanders and the Twin Comanches were all good looking planes. Too bad lights twins are out of favor these days.
