Friday feature: Plane ugly

calspanP-3.jpg

The US Air Force has released this photo of Calspan Flight Research tail number N793VS, the C-131 total inflight simulator that was retired last week. It is perhaps the ugliest aircraft ever employed in the name of national security.

Please send your nominees for the world's ugliest aircraft.
