this is a re-fit 757 that has had some mods to it to make it a flying F22 avionics simulator...

I nominate the Boeing X-32. It lost to the F-35, probably on looks alone.

There's one on display at NAS Patuxent River and in person it STILL looks ugly.

^ I think the Dreamlifter is a lot better looking than the Guppy or Beluga.

The Victor has that ugly with character, so not terrible to me, just looks mean.

We had quite an audience out there to watch them relaunch that thing from Jabara Airport. Presume the drivers are now baggage handlers.

I've always found it curious that the Brits could build something as beautiful as the Spit, and as ugly as darn near anything by Handley-Page.
