Escape from this thing could be a big problem.

I'm surprised you didn't include the PL-12. You know... Mad Max 3: Beyond
Thunderdome...

So many ugly planes, so little time...

Looks like a cessna 150 or two run through a meat grinder..... Can't help
but noticing that this is a computer generated image. Is this from an MS
Flight Simulator series?

This image is from a FS program, but the PL-12 is certainly a real plane:-
