gumbypickett Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 The most ugliest aircraft ever, no offence Wayne. It looks like it has a gigantic cist on it's head. But it does serve it's purpose. cheers Gumby 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sniper31 Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 It always amazes me that certain aircraft can actually fly. This is one of those. Just looks like it should not be airborne. Cool nonetheless, and cool image! Landon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wain71 Posted May 10, 2022 Author Share Posted May 10, 2022 thanks for the replies, @BradB great video.... @Sniper31 I am always surprised at what gets off the ground, also amazed at the size of some of theses cruise liners that manage to float... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mac Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Yep one ugly bird! I go to Toulouse 2 to 3 times a year and see these planes and it always amazes me how it can fly! Great shot all the same! John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aviator49 Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Hello, As an aviator, I must say its hard to imagine that this puppy would fly. Great shots and I bet it is a beasty to fly. I guess it serves its own purpose with huge loads. Would be interesting to find out the fuel burn per hour. Have a magic day Regards Sam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adambar Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Seems to me like it should have a few more engines hanging on those wings. Nice shot Wayne! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boetie Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Sorry mate, that's a tenner you could've kept to yourself. She's very ugly innit. Cheers Graeme 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wain71 Posted May 12, 2022 Author Share Posted May 12, 2022 Airbus have now set up a separate company using these old ST versions shipping freight around the world, read about a Helicopter they shipped and it didn't require stripping down.....
