Naw, that Australian cropduster plane (the one in Beyond Thunderdome) is way uglier. I'll find a URL for a pic if I can.

Ugliest 'aircraft' (not aeroplane) would be the Mil 'Hind-d'. In the fixed-wing department... Tu-95 'Bear'

Dunno, imo "Bear" is quite good looking plane.

If there would be a competition for ugliest plane my guess is all places in podium would be reserved for French bombers.

I could find an US equivalent, but I don't know what bombers were designed in the 30's in this country.

B18 Bolo was an ugly one!  So was the P35 "pea shooter".
