I thought for years the F-4 was thought to be the ugliest bird around? Some still think that way, especially those who flew it. G I saw the first flight of the F-4 at St Louis and sure wasn't impressed with its looks.

Oh, but wait: The X-32 had sort of a happy face on it (big smiling inlet), so I guess I have to give it a couple points for personality. "I'm a big fat happy airplane!" "JAFO" wrote in message .. . He probably means Tacit Blue, the ugliest airplane to ever fly. |

Talk about putting some KC-135's out to pasture also. He could get the whole system 'off the shelf' (or off the dessert floor) G Big John On Fri, 27 Feb 2004 05:39:59 GMT, "Pete Schaefer" wrote: Yup.

All it needs is a snazzy paint job with some stripes and you'll hardly notice that it's butt ugly . One of my choices is the Henri Fabre Floatplane circa 1910. A pusher canard design with a biplane canard and single wing.It's most interesting feature was the wing and canard spars which were located on tops of the airfoils leaving the lower surfaces nice and smooth. It was said that it didn't perform very well .Hmmm wonder why ??Maybe zoomy should test it :-) See ya Chuck |
