Well, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, I guess.
For sure, though, the X-32 was as ugly as they get and could only have been selected as a naval aircraft on that basis. 😏
At the time leading to the down select some folks, myself included, could not deny the striking resemblance between it and the Boeing Company CEO. Pictures of both, side by side, adorned many aviation related offices, then. Ugly as sin.
