Ugliest Aircraft ever built

[TheMightyFavog]

OK, what is the Ugliest Aircraft Ever Built.

IMHO, the AN-74 Coaler is right up there.

[Richardo]

1. The ANn-74 Coulter?

:D

[TheMightyFavog]

21. I wonder what one would look like...

End of Line.

[terrya]

22. Ewwwwwwwww....

I wouldn't want to fly on THAT monstrosity.

The BAe Nimrod's right up there, too.

2. Airbus Guppy

Basically any Guppy Aircraft

[ConcernedCanuk]

4. Guppy gets my "ugly" vote so far

.
.

Looks like a BIG slug humpin' a small slug - -

[Richardo]

5. A big swollen squishy queen termite...

:puke:

[GOPisEvil]

3. C-124 Globemaster II

[TheMightyFavog]

6. Blohm und Voss BV-141

Yes, this thing actually flew.

[Richardo]

7. LOL! Looks like they lost the instructions to the kit....

...wonder how many parts were left over? :-)

[GOPisEvil]

8. Hint to Allied pilots...approach from the LEFT!!!

They'll never see you coming! :D

[TheMightyFavog]

9. What was the name of that plane..

they designed to carry ICBM's across the coninent? It was real elongated.

[XNASA]

10. Russian "Caspian Sea Monster" WIG

[Richardo]

12. That's the one I was thinking of...

...but my aviation ignorance was working against me... :dunce:

[XNASA]

15. In all fairness, it's really not an "Aircraft"......

It never got more than 50 ft in the air, always flying above water to take advantage of the ground effect.

It's more a seaplane. But it sure looks weird anyway.

[Braden]

11. shorts 360

gets my vote

[BiggJawn]

13. Fiesler "Storch"

UGLY!

But the stubby little Brewster Buffalo is in the running, too. The fact that it was pretty doggy in the performance department helps.

[TheMightyFavog]

16. Back in my USENET days, I learned a valuable lesson.

Never dis the Brewster Buffalo in the prescence of Finns.

They will give you a damn long lecture on the Buffalo's feats during the Winter War if you do.

[BiggJawn]

17. Is that why every Buffalo you see is in Finnish markings?

I'm sure they got good service out of them, but they're in a part of the world where Fish Soap (Lutefisk) is considered a "delicacy"....:7
No accounting for taste...

14. What? No votes for the A-10A Warthog?

Edited to include a linkable image...

[Bertha Venation]

18. the ultralight my father went to Brazil to check out and buy while he

ignored his mother and her ailing mental health and his financial & other obligations to her.

But I'm not bitter. :grr:

[Kellanved]

19. DFW Floh

[av8rdave]

20. I have a lot of hours in the T-37...

I'll cast a vote for it for purely sentimental reasons.

"It doesn't fly - it's repulsed by the ground."

"The 6000 lb dog whistle."

"It's a converter - converts JP-4 into noise!"
