Lockheed Super Constellation. As a kid I'd see these go over our house in Houstin occasionally in-bound to Hobby Airport. I still think they're one of the prettiest people movers ever designed. In this case Kelly Johnson (of SR-71 fame) did the honors.
Agreed, there's something about that period of design (1950's to 1960's) when aircraft were very pretty overall. Maybe because the Lockheed Constellation is pretty much introduced at the peak of piston powered aircraft. They have the swept wings of jet aircraft.
Something much older...
1910 Farman Replica, HK International Airport.
Apparently this aircraft flew in Hong Kong at some point.

@ Jimo- Very ominous looking photo of a SR-71 or a YF-12, I'm having much difficulty telling them apart.
Thanks for everyone else's contributions! Especially the old warbirds.
Here's mine for now, my material is running low.
My biggest issue was keeping the front of the lens dry. It was a loosing battle but the inside of the raincoat stayed nice and dry.
