Captain Coffee 2,030 Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 Yeah, I don't get why folks think this is an ugly plane. I love it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
rosariomanzo 545 Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 It's not exactly graceful, but it has some character! Link to post Share on other sites

Tim_A 997 Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 Looks a bit like Sam the Eagle . . . 2 Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 Like the Skyvan, it was built to do a job. and it does it very well, lots in service these days. I like it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,316 Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 Probably because the front end looks like a suppository, still a great flier and gets the job done. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Holdit 106 Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 That's just homely, or plain. This is ugly: Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 Now I actually like the look of the Porter. It looks like a bush plane should, no whims or fancies, Just square corners and tough as old boots! love it. Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 The Short Skyvan wasn't known for its looks, but then an Austrian skydiving club did this to it and made it 10 times worse! Link to post Share on other sites

Oh I like the Porter too, but I still wouldn't call it pretty. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
