Here's mine. Belongs to a company I worked for one summer in college. Flew it around a bit on company errands. FSS briefer when filing a flight plan: "It's WHAT color?"

Have about .8 in one of these. Not sure why, but I always thought it was a special sort of hideous. Fun to fly, though.

This.
But this one is probably worse.
My students dubbed that one the 'shed'.

This one was a real piece but it burned down a few years ago.

Of course, some people might claim Patches was ugly. I just thought she had Character.

Didn't log this, because I wasn't appropriately rated at the time. (See previous 46 threads concerning logging sole-manip PIC time.)

The inherent sexiness of the King Air takes some of the ugliness out of that paint job.
Oh, and this one, before someone lost control and flipped it over into a ditch (nobody hurt, but they lost a brand new engine).

A King Air is about as sexy as Ru Paul in a thong. You're fired.

I have got about 4000 hours in this airplane, flew it for over 10 years. At least the last 500 or so it had a better paint job, white with several red stripes. First time I noticed it was at DCA. I told the captain that I was flying with “What an ugly airplane wouldn’t you hate flying it". About 6 months later I was flying it with a 50% pay rise and it looked great to me then. Lemon yellow with sable brown striping.
The Vette was mine and it looked wonderful, better without the hardtop. 66 red on red with a 427.

I've yet to see a truly ugly falcon 20. Say what you will about the Frogs, they make a damned attractive aviation appliance.

That was the reason it was painted yellow. The owners wife had read that yellow stood out more than any other color, to avoid midair’s.
Hughes Airwest repainted their entire fleet yellow after an F-4 hit one of their DC-9s way back when. Then they ran with the whole "Top Banana in the West" slogan. Giggity.
I can't say I've really flown anything ugly other than the typical ratty 150/172. I have to say.... that T-41 (hah, who am I kidding, 172) actually looks kind of badass.

It looks ridiculous. Where are the missiles and external fuel tanks and airborne laser systems?
