I am constantly impressed by the beauty of many of the aircraft that we get to photograph as a part of this hobby. The paint schemes on some, also nearly works of art. But as with all art, sometimes.. well, things dont work out so well. And aircraft too, well, some can be truly described as a plane only a mother could love.

So what do you guys think? Ugliest aircraft, nastiest livery, or, if you can handle it.. both together. Photos of course will help the discussion. Hope we can have some fun with this...

My nomination for the ugliest paint job... Express Jet.. I just dont know who looked at it on paper and thought, yes, that will make a great house livery.

Something about the cockpit coloring makes this look "EVIL" to me.

I can't believe that they had designed a livery with font "Times New Roman" ............

Not really Times New Roman, but not looking good either. LOL.
