I think it is

....mind you, i also like the look of the Aitruk...but those Bears are real "manplanes" ...love them.

I bet those [huge, metal, radar reflecting] prop blades make it nice and easy for it to sneak under enemy radar!

Ian, what's that about an An-22?

Manplane...that's the word!
There are other, similar things: 16lb hammer, for example

As I have said before " If it's ugly it's French, if it's weird it's British. If it's ugly and weird it's Russian"

That fuse is way too skinny !!!

Um Ian, you do know what the "U" in BUFF is, don't you???
Fit for purpose... they'd have to be, to survive half a century in service.
Mean is the closest common denominator...

And CP, show us an ugly French plane, and I'll immediately raise you 3 beauts...

How about the Beluga and its daddy the A380 for starters.

by **Ian Warren** » Thu Jul 28, 2011 11:40 am

The 'U' was to mean , do not be 'Underneath' it before it rains

CP , yip you chose that one well

by **Charl** » Thu Jul 28, 2011 12:56 pm

Ian, that is not strictly correct...

CP, despite what the French would have you believe, Airbus is owned by a Dutch-registered multinational company.
You want ugly?
Pshaw, here's some old-fashioned Boeing Fugly

Yeah but the 747 transporter aircraft is still sweet when compared to the gross and aptly named Beluga. It's a Boeing and they dont do ugly

The quote is the other way round isn't it? If it's ugly it's Brit, if it's werid it's Frog, but theres no despute about the Ruski.
