Flight 714 anyone?

The Have Blue and the F-117! Even Kelly Johnson found these designs offesive to look at.









In his book, Skunk Works Ben Rich said:

Kelly was not inpressed. He took one look at our stealth design, snatched the plans from the desk, and charged into my office. Unfortunatly I never heard him coming. He kicked me in the but, hard too. Then he crumpled up the stealth design and threw it at my feet. "What in the hell do you think your doing Ben? Are you try to embarras me? This dumb # will never get off of the ground!" He stormed.

If the person who was the head of the group/team that built the F-117 even complained about how it looked, that should say something. I say the F-117 gets the ugliest plane award on that ground alone! Find me another plane that got it first official complaint about its looks, before it was even built!

Ive gotta say the F117 is one hell of an ugly plane.

But there is an uglier plane...

Sorta! It's a really expensive Drone (remote controlled aircaft). This is what the big boys in the Air Force play with on the weekends!

Seriously, that is the Globe Hawk. They say it's a hell of a reconnassance aircraft though!

I'd definatly go with the Tacit Blue, the F-117 Stealth and
the worse engineered and worst looking XB-70 Valkyrie.

The Vulcan on t'other hand is an angel in a field of ugly MoFo's

Let's not forget this one.



OV-1 Mohawk

Indeed.. You get my drift..

SAAB viggen :

Stealth Spy, I don't get you at all.
In what way is the Viggen ugly? The Draken, yes. But the Viggen?...

The A-10 Warthog is one of the ugliest planes but actually is one of my favorites.

Hrm....
