for one of the ugliest planes out there goes to:

The Soviet Union!

But somehow I like that plane a lot. Big fun to fly around in the only ever build jet agro plane  ;D.

Cheers,
Fabian

For a time, yes. Orders were placed for over 3,000, but it didn't do as well as they'd hoped (a jet biplane was not exactly economical), so production was ceased in 1981 (only five years after it was introduced) with only 175 built.

I'm so glad this is finally in FS. I've been waiting for a Belphegor for ages. Nothing says "unconventional" like a twin-boom jet-powered biplane!
