Can it actually get worse, Walter Matthau comes to mind.

This one looks like it was shot down by the Millennium Falcon

Tell me can you see up my nose?

Ok enough!

Some of these are definitely in the Bracket, "If I could, I wonder if I should?"

COME ON! How could anyone say the 109 is ugly?!? Sure, it ain't no Spitfire, but still! There's WAY more ugly aircraft.

Ahh the Hawker Hunter, my very first Airfix model when I was about 6 years old. Classic, sleek shape.

But... you've all missed out on THE best looking (and 100% real) aircraft ever!

Yep, I like her too kimo,

I keep FSX installed just for her and variants.

Been messing around with e MAAM collection for 2004 and almost have them working correctly.

I have a few things not showing up in game, like the engines, are see through.

And a skin of Ozark Airlines, is fighting me to show.

You might be interested to know Fruitbat that there is a group here in the UK building a replica Hornet for static display. It'll be the only example anywhere when it's complete!

Damn, knew you were going to ask that. I don't have the info to hand, but will dig it out.

EDIT - Ask and ye shall receive. Mostly by clicking here.

Thanks alot, great info, i'll be keeping tabs on this :)

You're welcome. If you're interested in aircraft restoration in general, the Historic Aviation forum over at Key Publishing's website occasionally turns up interesting info - Guess where the Hornet website info came from? Warning though - it gets incredibly anoraky from time to time, and I get the impression that they're not keen on people joining their little clique. Of the total posts I've made over there (three), two were ignored and the other got a smartass answer. I quit at that point, but I still lurk from time to time.

my fav, de Havilland Hornet,

There is no doubt that Dehavilland knew how to build a purty aeroplane, the Mosquito is probably my fave as far as looks go. Hell, even when they set out to build the aerial equiralent of a half ton pickup truck they came up with this:
