...this plane for being the NASTIEST, DIRTIEST aircraft currently in flying condition (if you can call it that).  I would be SCARED to board this dirty bird ;D

I dont think that aircraft has been in the air for quite a while. It kinda looks like it has been abandoned.

I prefer the look of a used aircraft, rather than one that's shiny and fresh out the paint shop, but that just takes the biscuit. ;D

Acoording to the other pics of this one, it hasn't been flying for quite a while.

And I doubt they'd let it take of this dirty, since the increase in fuel consumption will be way more expensive than a quick wash.

It's not as dirty as some of Air France's aircraft... even some AF textures for FS have dirt as standard.. :P

There used to be a floatplane (a Seawind I think) that parked outside of my Dad's house when he lived on a lake, that had parts held on with duct tape, and it even sank a couple of times, but it's still out there flying. :P ;D

Well all the DSB GR.4s look like that!

And the Ukrainians are too poor to get a decent paint job.

And as for the F-4F.... most likley the last to the the F-4ICE upgrade.

Air france and US air are both notorious for having really dirty planes.

Yeah, that's pretty bad.  But I have to say there is a significant difference between airplanes that are dirty from extensive use and those that are dirty from a lack of use.
