<div class="bbWrapper">What&#039;s so bad about the IL-96?<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.airliners.net/open.file?id=190894" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">http://www.airliners.net/open.file?id=190894</a> <br /> <br /> Maybe the flight deck windows are unusual, but it&#039;s no uglier than a four-hole Airbus.<br /> <br /> The C-337 is one of my faves. I would have loved to fly it. As the O-2, it has a more sinister-looking flare:<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.dyess.af.mil/airpark/o-2a.htm" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">http://www.dyess.af.mil/airpark/o-2a.htm</a> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.kiwiaircraftimages.com/skymast.html" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">http://www.kiwiaircraftimages.com/skymast.html</a><br /> <br /> By the way, this site, <a href="http://www.dyess.af.mil/airpark" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">www.dyess.af.mil/airpark</a> , has some great pics of a few aircraft not always seen.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">i&#039;m with you on the 337...i like those things. I just could never figure one thing though:<br /> if you carry 6 pax in those, where does the baggage go??? <br /> <br /> Also like the reverse prop noise it makes, really distinguishable. <br /> <br /> There&#039;s this gyroplane company, don&#039;t know which one, that took a Cessna 337 and:<br /> <br /> * Clipped the wings off<br /> * Added a huge 2-blade rotor to the top<br /> * Removed the rear motor, added a cargo door in its place <br /> * Replaced the 6-cyl front engine with a Alison turboprop!<br /> * Painted it black with a shark-mouth in the front, like a P-40.<br /> <br /> Saw it at Sun n Fun... and I was scared! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":eek:" title="Eek! :eek:" data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":eek:" /></div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Holy cr@p what the heck is that? Going back to ugly airplanes I am going to second the 207 as the ugliest flying truck ever. Though the plane in the previous link certainly gets an honorable mention.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">NOTAM to all those dissin&#039; my Dornier 328J....<br /> <br /> She&#039;s not the prettiest girl at the prom...she&#039;s more like a gansta beooootch, she can please a man more ways than one and at the same time, bust a cap in yer a$$ during our routine <br /> 5000 ft/min climbs with a full load. Yeah...you laugh at us on the ground and then &quot;oooo and ahhh&quot; during our airshow take-offs. We&#039;re slow in cruise, but I get paid by the hour...so it doesn&#039;t matter.<br /> <br /> I&#039;ll take the gansta girl over the high MX super model type anyday of the week...Fersheeeeeezzeeee!!!!<br /> <br /> House</div>

<div class="bbWrapper"><b>STOKED!!!!</b><br /> <br /> Ya&#039;ll,<br /> <br /> Although the C-130 has a face only a mother could love, I was overjoyed to see that nobody mentioned the Herk. Gracias,<br /> <br /> BN</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">If it flies, it&#039;s beautiful. Sure beats walking or driving........<br /> <br /> Of course there is the Shorts 360? That reminds me of my fathers moble home...</div>

 

[bobbysamd]

<div class="bbWrapper"><b>Paris Jet</b><br /> <br /> How about the Paris Jet for an example of an ugly airplane?<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.parisjet.com" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">http://www.parisjet.com</a> or <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.bartoli.com/safo/articles/ms760arg.htm" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">http://www.bartoli.com/safo/articles/ms760arg.htm</a><br /> <br /> It looks a little better as a military airplane.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">sure suprised me how many planes hit this thread. About the ONLY plane I&#039;d consider ugly is the Zenith kit series. AN-2, Storch, Wilga, Shorts, Dorniers, Seabees, whatever... they&#039;re all generally pleasing to my eye. Just not the Zeniths.<br /> <br /> C-310 ugly? You are &quot;blind&quot;! 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.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">now here&#039;s an ugly paintscheme! <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.airliners.net/open.file/236264/L/" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">http://www.airliners.net/open.file/236264/L/</a><br /> <br /> Anyways, looks like a Geiger work of art...<br /> <br /> About the plane itself...no comments, I don&#039;t think bombardier planes are ugly, but I just don&#039;t like em...</div>

 

[aggiepilot87]

<div class="bbWrapper">crash -<br /> <br /> very neat avitar, but the props turning backwards!!</div>

 

[crash-proof]

<div class="bbWrapper">it&#039;s a version made for europe! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue :p" data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> <br /> <br /> thanks for the note, i never would have noticed</div>

 

[CAK@4000]

<div class="bbWrapper">CASA 212 is the ugliest for sure. Actually had a controller tell traffic that was looking for us &quot;just look out there for a RV looking thing with wings&quot;.</div>

 

[Guam360]

<div class="bbWrapper">Dornier-228...</div>

 

[justApilot]

<div class="bbWrapper">How &#039;bout the Hansa jet (sp?)...It may not be the ugliest, but it sure is strange!<br /> <br /> The Metroliner looks a bit like a lawn dart....?</div>

 

[ILLINI]

<div class="bbWrapper">Just saw a turbine C206 in DBQ. Don&#039;t know if I would call it <i>the</i> 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!</div>
