In truth though after standing there looking at it. Well it kind of grows on you. I like it.
 
Talk of a coincidence...

This article appeared a few days ago in FlightGlobal; HERE . The subject of this thread doesn't make the list btw...

Beauty (and ugliness) being in the eye of the beholder, I personally think that any heavier-than-air that can sustain flight has its own charm.:love_heart:
 
It looks like the one at The Museum of The United States Air Force in Dayton , Ohio . Am I correct ? If so , I've seen the Ugly Duckling on many visits over the years . Not very sleek looking is it . I'm sure it did it's job in it's day .
