I like most of those but to include the Cub, the Cardinal and the Lancair and exclude the BE35 is heresy!  They left out the DC-3, the B-17, the C-195; the Stearman all of which I would include. That racing seaplane was cool though. That takes some hair to fly the equivalent of three fuselages through the air at that speed.

Where the H--L is the Starship? What morons came up with this?
BEAU-TY n. The quality of being very pleasing, as in form, color, tone, behavior.
This has nothing to do with the symmetry, identity or presence, it's all in the eye.

Please.  This list sucks. I count at least 10 that should be in the top 25 ugliest list. And .... there's not even one jet fighter. And what about the X15? Please...

Hello BT, Username Protected wrote: There is a coffee table book out there I believed called the ugliest planes or something to that effect. 2 of the planes in that 25 are in that book. Eye of the beholder or list maker I guess. So true, Someone on another thead had the audacity to call the Duke ugly...  I'm just waiting for someone to call my E-55 ugly....

I agree with the staggering and Concorde. 747 fits in there somewhere.
however the starship not being part of the list is sad. As the owner/flier of
2 Beech starships - I think they are one of the most elegant airplanes to fly.
then again I am biased. i am still hoping the XB-71 makes the list someday...
