Default Ugly Airplanes, pt 9 - Vought F8U-3 Crusader-III.jpg (1/1)

Chuck,

I think the F8U was a beautiful aircraft; however, it lost it's looks when
the wing was in the landing/takeoff position.

I am surprised that my old A-6A (or the EA-6B) hasn't made the ugly list!
It may have been ugly; however, it was a great bird!!!

What make an aircraft ugly and what is considered beauty? Is this a
generational issue?

Sure it was ugly, but it was one hell'uva good bird. Probably
the best aircraft that was never built.
