STOKED!!!!

Ya'll,

Although the C-130 has a face only a mother could love, I was overjoyed to see that nobody mentioned the Herk. Gracias,

If it flies, it's beautiful. Sure beats walking or driving........

Of course there is the Shorts 360? That reminds me of my fathers moble home...

Paris Jet

How about the Paris Jet for an example of an ugly airplane?

It looks a little better as a military airplane.

no, it was spared cause that would be unfair, the c130's done so much for us....

it ain't pretty, but it's one bada$$ plane!!!

sure suprised me how many planes hit this thread. About the ONLY plane I'd consider ugly is the Zenith kit series. AN-2, Storch, Wilga, Shorts, Dorniers, Seabees, whatever... they're all generally pleasing to my eye. Just not the Zeniths.

C-310 ugly? You are "blind"! The -310 (swept tail) would make my top ten list of beautiful planes. noticed two late models parked on the ramp at Clover Field the other night thinking how near perfect that design is for a light twin.

Anyways, looks like a Geiger work of art...

About the plane itself...no comments, I don't think bombardier planes are ugly, but I just don't like em...

it's a version made for europe!

thanks for the note, i never would have noticed

CASA 212 is the ugliest for sure. Actually had a controller tell traffic that was looking for us "just look out there for a RV looking thing with wings".

Dornier-228...

How 'bout the Hansa jet (sp?)...It may not be the ugliest, but it sure is strange!

The Metroliner looks a bit like a lawn dart....?

Just saw a turbine C206 in DBQ. Don't know if I would call it the ugliest, but it sure was an ugly looking bird! Exhaust stack running just about the entire length of the fuselage, and two odd looking air intake scoops protruding from the top of the extra long cowl. Yuk!
