Abstract: We study smooth integral curves of bidegree $(1,1)$, called extit{smooth conics}, in the flag threefold $mathbbF$. The study is motivated by the fact that the family of smooth conics contains the set of fibers of the twistor projection $mathbbFomathbb{CP}^2$. We give a bound on the maximum number of smooth conics contained in a smooth surface $SsubsetmathbbF$. Then, we show qualitative properties of algebraic surfaces containing a prescribed number of smooth conics. Lastly, we study surfaces containing infinitely many twistor fibers. We show that the only smooth cases are surfaces of bidegree $(1,1)$. Then, for any integer $a>1$, we exhibit a method to construct an integral surface of bidegree $(a,a)$ containing infinitely many twistor fibers.
