Make that 9 sir. Its short and stubby looking. Im not much of an Airbus fan to begin with, but the A340 is pretty nice.
My specs... A hard drive, motherboard, graphics card, some memory, a keyboard, mouse, and monitor - in other words, nothing special.

I just saw that C-131 or one like it at Wright Patterson last weekend.  I agree its very funny looking, but so are many of the other planes they have there.

The soviets made some pretty nasty stuff in the 50s.

Then again, so did us Brits.

I tend to like ugly aircraft, and my favorite awkward bird is the Pilatus Porter.

Not a single smooth line on it, all angles and flaps.

A380 is not ugly, neither is most planes you put into your poll, B-52 is ugly though
