ugliest aircraft
« on: January 14, 2012, 02:53:58 PM »
Thread all about the worlds ugliest aircraft. Can be WWII, post-war, pre-war, modern day prototype and technology demonstrator aircraft, anything you want. Just tell what you think is the worlds ugliest aircraft is.


My vote would have to be for the S-37 Berkut.

He said ugliest, not most effeminate.  The B-32 gets my vote.

Really? You people never seen an ugly airplane. Everything your posted in this thread looks great. Tac got pretty close to posting an ugly airplane, but that's still not bad.

P180s are sexy!!

My opinion is a bit bias as a friend of mine used to fly them, but even before I knew him, I thought they were sexy.
