The Nimrod AEW3 (pictured in the link), was ugly enough to be cancelled and replaced by the E-3D.

F-4 Phantoms.  Read nicknames section: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-4_Phantom_II#Culture.  You gotta love 'em though.  Sometimes I wonder how it even got off the ground at all...

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Classic aeroplane. Yak-3 with a jet. Awesome. And they left the undercarriage in the right place too!

The Yak 23 on the other hand, is the ugly sister. :)

Not sure if this counts because it "flew" in ground effect, but the Beriev Bartini VVA 14 looks like it hit every branch as it crashed down through the ugly tree :o

...at least it looks like it used to have wings back in time.  :) Though I don't know if this fact would improve anything...  ;D
