It's pretty clear the Nimrod is no 'looker' but the suggestion that a pimped 737 'looks good' is really stretching the imagination. A 707 nose bolted onto a tail that is 5 times too big (exaggerating for effect) and all the modern lines of a 1800's steamship do not make the 737/P8 a fine looking machine. I know it's all in the eye of the beholder but even with some 4000 hrs in them, I still think the FLUFF earned it's name
