LOL, I agree. Take a look at most of their helicoptors. Repulsive.... ;D


Have you taken a look at your local Hind dealer recently? That is one brilliant looking Helo! Better than your foul-nosed Apache...Even worse withe longbow hump on top!

Hmm - never heard it before, but I think it must be the 2CV??

How about this F3 & Andrew - maybe it's the new 'Smile In The Sky':

There are quite a few "good ugly" planes about, the F16 is ugly but awsome if you know what I mean. :-*

As for helicopters they get ugllier year on year. :o

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder & everyone has different ideas. I disagree on the F-16. It has a classic beauty. I've always thought of it as the jet equivalent of the P-51D.

I found these quotes on a helicopter company website. ;)
[quote]The rotor is just a big fan on top of the helicopter designed to keep the pilot cool. When it stops, you can actually watch the pilot start sweating.

Helicopters can't fly; they're just so ugly the earth repels them.

I never liked riding in helicopters because there's a fair probability that the bottom part will get going around as fast as the top part.

I always look at aircraft like ladies :o and while you would say the F16 has a very nice figure it also has a big gob and a huge conk ;D

The Blackburn Buccaneer has what can only be described as a "fat arse" but again she is one of my faves.

The Hawker Hunter and the Grumman Tomcat (say nothing Ashar >:(). Now they are really beauty contest winners :D

Who ever said the A380 was ugly is a smart man. Man what an ugly nose for one.

The Beluga is also pretty ugly but Super Guppy is also bad but I'll give them breaks becuase there freighters.
I've got nothing.

All I can say about the A380 is that it looks no better or worse than any other flying cigartube. :P
