as a former St. Louis McDonnell Douglas employee, I have no choice but to agree that the Phantom is iconic!
... it was also rather profitable for the company, allowing it to progress to the F-15, F-18, AV-8B, etc., and that allowed me to buy more bikes!

Not exactly vintage (a 2010 Cannondale T1, the last US made Cannondale touring bike) but in front of Lambeau Field.

edit: Nutters are more relaxed. Top hats are cool. Monocles not so much.
Khakis and collared on a large Grandis, classic (iconic) BFer too, IMHO.

Devil’s Punch Bowl on the Crystal River. Iconic 4x4 road below Schofield Pass, Colorado
Iconic mountain bike crash. Was even a “yard sale” where I had lots of stuff spread out on the ground after the crash.

Can I reuse the Space Needle?
This icon has also already been used...
And while Mt Rainier (aka Tahoma) has been used, this is actually one of Tahoma's neighbors about 50 miles to the south: Mt Adams (aka, Pahto or Klickitat)
Pretty sure this one hasn't been used yet.
