How Many think this is fake

[RyanJames170]

747 how many of you think this is real?

 

[orionll]

Isn't that a Boeing 747SP?

 

[Piglet]

Even for a 747SP, it still looks a little too short. You can tell by the flaps, but you can't see 'em:isadizzy:

 

[SpaceWeevil]

Don't see many of those about now, but real as real can be.. http://www.747sp.com/

The 747 SP is the single ugliest aircraft EVER conceived. Period.

That was until the Airbus A-380 came along.

Hi guys,

I flew on the Baby Flying Springbok - http://www.airliners.net/photo/South-African-Airways/Boeing-747SP-44/1508000/L/ - a couple of times Frankfurt-Capetown-Frankfurt way back when. I always thought it was a pretty cool ride.

Cheers, Holger

The airbus 380 is a BEAUTIFUL plane ( to a cross eyed fish )

The B747SP, A318 and B737-500/600 all look a bit cartoonish to me, with normal sized wings and little stubby fuselages, but I wouldn't describe any of them as ugly.

The A380 on the other hand...? Impressive, but it has a bigger forehead than me and that really isn't an attractive feature! :d

It is still better than the SP. I've seen so many thousands of aircraft at EAA and other airshows, and who knows how many pictures of planes online, and I have yet to see ANYTHING that is as ugly as the SP. :toilet:

Guess it's all about that old 'in the eye of the beholder' thing....

'cos I think it's a great looking bird

But then, what do i know - i think Pilatus Porter is also a stunner:mixedsmi:

Quite possibly! However there's always:

Ewwwwwwww, now that's fugly!

I'll agree that the A380 is an ugly beast, but the 747SP isn't that bad. Certainly not the ugliest ever.

I quite like the Beluga in a strange kind of way too. Not pretty, but in the same way as an A-10, its looks make it a more interesting aircraft!

There are some hideous contraptions from the inter-war period though. I'd take a world of everything mentioned in this thread than a lot of the stomach churning stuff they came up with back then!

Forget ugly or beautiful designs, here's a cute one. Not sure on range nor capacity estimates though.

I recognise him. Isn't that "boy's own hero" and pilot extraordinaire Beagles.

This 747 version isn't exactly pretty either, makes the SP look good; the Dreamlifter:

That pic cannot be fake - loook at the reflection of the Tow Tug under the nose - that reflection would never have been painted by a painter on a FS aircraft, where the textures are painted to be used in flight...

and that FSX can reflect the tow tug THAT GOOD i do not believe.

Ah!
The MC.200 italian fighter is uglier i think.
