UGLIEST PLANE EVER?

WELL fancy calling the Gannet UGLY!! Shame on you. And the little Seamew.
I'll grant you that the Airtruck wasn't tthe best looker of all time but she was practicle.
My vote for the ugliest a/c would go for the French inter-war bombers. Now they landed on the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down!!
Also I think that the Westland P12 tandem wing beach straffer would finish well up in the ugly awards.
I flew in Gannets in the RAN and loved them.

Here are 3 that I find particularly unappealing to the eye.I know that others have mentioned French aircraft, I think this one is atypical. Some great stomach churners, there ! Keep 'em coming !

Here is my ugly list...

1. F4 Phantom
2. F104 Starfighter
3. Hellcat

common listen to me those planes are beautiful compared to the god dam firicken BLOHM &VOSS BV-141B look it up and you'll see!!!!!!!!!!

QUOTE: Originally posted by upnorth (snip) For me, the top 5 list of less than aesthetically pleasing aircraft goes to this effect: 1: Shorts Seamew 2: Fairey Gannet 3: Super Guppy 4: Grumman C-2 Greyhound 5: Republic F-105 Thunderchief (snip)

Of course the C-2 is also the most gorgeous a/c in the world when it shows up on the ball w/about a 1,000 lbs of "pony express" (mail) for the battle group....

You have got to be kidding! The 104? I guess if you walked into a room and Kate Bosworth and Tammy Faye were there you would not know the difference. Those 30s French bombers are UGLY maybe one of those guys designed the Airtruk.

Hey Pixilater thanks for those pics, that arsenal-delanne is one supermegafugly aircraft. it kinda makes me want to model it because it is that ugly...cheers...Greg

I'm with Greg, Who makes the kit of this ugly little scamp!I had better pick up a resin cockpit and photoetch set. Who puts out the best sets for this beauty

I heard that Starfix is releasing that kit in 1/64th scale, amid a huge fanfare. Rumors are that "Baghdad Bob" will be doing the T. V. commercials. I've got to start saving for it . . .the retail price will be $.99 at Wall Mart. If I can find one shall I get you one as well ? They're sure to sell out fast. Imagine ! An Arsenal-Delanne 10-C2 of your VERY OWN ! ! !

LMAO....Greg

Sorry to disturb but the ugliest plane ever would have to be the A-10 thunderbolt
no offense to others but thats my opinion

As far as the A-10 is concerned, aesthetically speaking I've never been a fan of it myself.But as a true believer of "Beauty is as beauty does" I cannot deny that the Warthog is absolutely gorgeous.

Time for me to jump on the A 10 bandwagon, ok it isn't the cutest of aircraft but the slo, mo, film i saw from the inside of a target tank as it got shreaded by THAT gun was a thing of beauty. that alone should keep it out of the running for the ugly vote ..Greg
