My first two tries for this month.

First of the Saab J-29 Tunnan during sunrise in the northern parts of sweden..

Many good things can be said about this aircraft, but the looks aren't one of them.....

And secondly a Beriev Be12 Chayka (Seagull) taking off from Landvetter (ESGG).

For my third attempt I'll be going way back into aviation history, but that will come later on. Have to get it from my Laptop to my FSX-machine first....

One very-ugly aircraft - the Nimrod MRA4

-2009-dec-16-001.jpg

Er, Kieran, sorry mate, but that's not the MR4A. That's the prototype Nimrod AEW 3, it never actually saw much service at all......the (yet to fly) MRA4 looks like this:

My last shot at a win this year is the Curtiss-Goupil Duck.

2009121520226722.jpg

Designed by Alexander Goupil in 1883, built and flown by Glenn Curtiss in 1917. A water version was also built in 1916, but as far as i've read it didn't fly because it was to heavy...

As for this model, i wouldn't want to try and fly it for real. There's actually zero visibilty in any direction but straight back from the pilot seat...

Hi Gang,

Thanks for some real butt-ugly aircraft!!!

I have an idea who's the winner but I want to put my final 6 out to final vote.

The poll feature is busted as far as I am aware so just respond to this post with the number you think is the ugliest and I will add the scores and compare to mine and announce the result on Sunday morning!
