Re: ugliest and prettiest

Did the original post mean prettiest/ugliest paintjob, or the aircraft itself? I think we got off onto the wrong track here.

Re: ugliest and prettiest

I will admit to being biased since I crewed on it for thirteen years, but I truely believe that Lefty's "Thunderbird" has to rank among the prettiest of Mustangs. As for the ugliest, none are ugly, there are just pretty and prettier.

In regard to Furias,
Take a side view, using photoshop insert onto the gold field some big white Budweiser logos from the side of a hydro, and there you have the total reason for Furias' paint scheme.
Big spinner and bubble canopy was definitely the best look for it.

I think it was actually "Stroh's" beer sponsorship they intended to go after.......

I think the Race 57 Super Corsair has the best lines...

Or the H-1 Hughes... (It crashed on the way to OSH, right?)

T-6s are pretty homely.
So is Riff Raff.

Riff Raff is not homely, its just cosmetically challenged

Re: ugliest and prettiest

When was the last time you saw good looking Riff Raff? Doesn't the name say it all?

Ugliest: I have a tie for first in that catagory. The current Bear paint, and Sept Pops.. Prettiest would be Sumpthin Else in the early white / light blue.

A Vulcan ugly!
The only way that is ugly is if you are Argentine...
Praise be that a Vulcan was recently returned to the sky. A truly momentous effort of aircraft preservation.

Re: ugliest and prettiest

Well, I´m Argentine, and always liked the Vulcan (despite some bitter moments in the past), it is very nice airplane, but hardly a Racer.
