I'm sorry, but this one just has to take the cake...it's one fugly airplane.
You beat me to it, was going to nominate it.I actually talked to an old WW II aviator who was giving tours at the National Museum of Naval Aviation in Pensacola, FL(my hometown) during one of my visits there about five years ago.This gentleman(often wonder if he is still with us) said was rather frank about his dislike for the Buffalo.
