To name a few...but then again I don't think I've ever seen a plane that I thought was ugly, or one I didn't like lol
 
My favorite is probably a toss-up between The Grumman F6F Hellcat and The Chance/Vought F4U Corsair.That said I believe The HellCat was a very important part of turning the tide of War in the Pacific Theater.

The F6F was Grummans answer to battling The highly manuverable Japanese Mitsubishi A6M Zero.With a PW R2800 Double Wasp 18cyl Radial engine, It was much more manuverable and powerful than it's predecsessor F4FWildcat,And with heavy armor/self sealing fuel tanks and six Browning .50cal Machine guns it packed a hell of a punch!!! I gotta vote for The Big Cat!!!:jump:

I have to say the B-17 has been and will always be my favorite aircraft, followed closely by the C-47/DC-3 and the PBY Catalina. I've worked around F-4's and they are loud and slow. If I had to choose a jet fighter, It would have to be the f-15, or F-16, followed closely by the f-14. I find the Harrier ugly in a beautiful sort of way. I like it's VTOL abilities.
