The F-4. Ugly? How dare you. I challenge you to a duel at dawn with your choice of weapons. Tweezers or nail clippers.
Anyone which one?
The F4U Corsair. Beautiful Or the F-4 Phantom II. One of the most divine aircraft of all time.
Suggest you go and have a little lie down Nopax. You are clearly not thinking straight at the moment. After that, book yourself in at the nearest optician at the earliest opportunity
Junkers 52/3m: corrugated wings! Cessna 337 Junkers 87 Stuka (not an airliner, but so ugly you'd think it was deliberate psychological warfare like the siren.) A10A Thunderbolt, also military and looks like death itself.
Nopax please stop being so rude about the F-4 Phantom I happen to agree with cargosales on this subject. the Phantom is quite simple gorgeous. A far superior aircraft than the Tornado in almost every aspect.
On the subject of the Tornado, I'm afraid that "The Mighty Fin" gets my vote as the ugliest plane.
Totally unfair! The Shed and the Stratocruiser both reflect the job they were built for. The Shed is square because most freight is square. Is that not integrity? The Strat was pressurised when Brits were slumming it in Avro Yorks, Vikings, and the like. Handsome is as handsome does.
Phantom? Big, ugly, loud, and deadly. I once saw four take off together at Bentwaters, and they looked and sounded as effective as they were. Still in service, aren't they?
The others aren't worth comment, except that as a Hayes boy, I can confirm that some pretty ugly Faireys have made it out of Hayes.
in fact, everything a fighter jet should be (especially with those big Spey intakes)
She just ain't purty....but should she be? I wouldn't want them to look any different.
Gliders are beautiful; look at them long, graceful wings. Fighters should look like fighters; aggressive and dangerous. Think rattlesnakes rather than kittens...............
Ah come on...
been there, done it!
