There is/used to be a jet parked up in Geneva with 4 engines at the back, I am sure it belongs to some African despot who hasn't paid fees for it and it is now impounded, but although it is old technology, it does look quite cool.

No idea what it is though.

WTF? Beautiful she is...

Gorgeous Long Range Aircraft: Gulfstream 650

Yeah, well, allright....you got it right there. ONCE.

Ugly Short/Medium Range Aircraft: Gulfstream 150

That thing ainīt that bad, but the winner is cat has to be the sexiest airplane made to this very day: the Falcon 50!!!

Gorgeous Short/Medium Range Aircraft: Citation X

Georgeous? Looks like a pregnant pig! Out of proportion. Dead ugly. Uuch!

The Challenger 300 is a really sexy twin engined jet.

BTW the only Cessna that wonīt hurt your eyes is the Sovereign.

Although I never really liked flying the Citation X (apart from the fact that it's the fastest - but that gets boring, too), I always found it to be a good-looker.

I saw a F2000LX with winglets recently. They sure make the airplane look better than ever.

good looking: Any new Lear - Lockheed Jetstar - G3, 4 and 5 - old Falcons - C750 - H800.

bad looking: Premier1 - H400 - any straight wing Cessna.

Anyway - I left Biz, now on MD80..............

Hello!

I don't really care, as long as I look at it from the inside (and get paid for being there) :)

But one of the nicest bizjets I ever saw, well, rather a "corporate aircraft" was this (not my photograph):

http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1412/565439500_a576d4d5e0.jpg

And contrary to almost everybody else, if don't like the look of the much tick praised "stick insect" Gulfstreams. Totally unproportionate...

Well, the SP looks to me like a plane that was driven into a wall, simply too short, another plane with the same problem is the A318.

Anyway beautiful: G550, ugly: BBJ (and i still love the 737, but its an ugly plane).

Jet doesn't mean anything since most aircrafts are now fitted with turbofans...
The Italian thing might be ugly, it's still one of the most efficient existing designs. When the "jet" version will show up numbers will speak for themselves.

I like bizjets, for me there are no really ugly ones, some are just not as good looking as the others...

Most Gorgeous Jet ---the one I am currently flying.

Ugliest jet ---anyone I am NOT currently flying.

Must say though, the 7X probably looks nice one airborne, but on the ground, it certainly looks ungainly.

I agree on Falcon 50. What about the Lear 45? If too long for some-one's liking, try the Lear 40 for size and proportions.

It's like what is the best car? One that is parked in my garage and fully paid for...

Just showing my age but I have always thought the Falcon 100 was the sexiest thing in the air.

Ugly Jet: Any bizjet in the new NJE paint scheme......

Gorgeous Jet: Most bizjets NOT in the new NJE paint scheme.......

Why did Norman Foster design his scheme to look like the aircraft are bank robbers???

Maybe this was his tongue-in-cheek laugh at how much money NJE paid him????? :}

Controversial??? Moi???

Falcon 10 is a real beauty. I believe Dassault still operate one, but completely refitted with glass cockpit. Shame they don't still build them.

Ugliest ever for me is the Citation Bravo. I'm also in the camp that thinks Gulfstreams are ugly.

Ugliest ever for me is the Citation Bravo.

Try googling for "JetPod" before insulting one of "my" aeroplanes ;) But we won't see many of those because the inventor perished together with the prototype.

Ugliest jet has to be the Premier 1/2, man that shouldn't fly just is damn pig ugly.

The sweetest looking I think is the Learjet 40, as above all going fo rheavy metal,expensive isn't always the best looking.

For the ultimate bizjet, gentlemen remember the Concorde, nothing can beat that baby, even ifthe french did have a hand in it.

Looking at the shape of the aircraft, its a close call between the G550 and the GLX. Looking at the cockpit, my G550 win hands down:)

Reference Kohler's GLEX, they are a profitable, privately-held (perhaps the original family) company with four main lines of business, not just plumbing. If they want a pretty bizjet, who are we to complain?
