I'm looking for pics of the more rounded, or bulbous, or awkward-ish planes that might not make an ordinary list of best aesthetics.

Put these air-frames in their own list and let's see some pics!

RKL, He's asking for ones that wouldn't fit in a best aesthetics list.

A-10 Warthog!

I think the Warthog is a really cool looking plane.

please use {img width=800} to unembiggenate the pics you post. Then we don't have to scroll side to side to see them.

It is pretty. I bet it looked retro even the retro days.

"800" for unembiggenating is still too big for some enlargination/screen resolutions. Try {img width=400} pls.

I agree with grampster about the Warthog actually being pretty, but this one has too much makeup.

But I think it's.... ummmm.... "shapely."

(The above were set for width=400.)

This one is set for 800:

Thanks for the suggestion, Amy. I'm surprised nobody's brought that up before. I learned about the width thing from HeroHog a while ago.

I've actually seen A-10s flying overhead. They are very capable aircraft, but man they are UGLEEEEEEE!

I reset my images from 800 to 640.

Damn, Larry! Resize your freaking pics!

Try not to screech in terror... The Amiot 143

Then there's America's contribution... the B-24

And the Brits had the Blackburn Roc...

OV-1 Mohawk. Can’t really post pictures at the moment, but plenty at the Wikipedia sight

PZL 104. Looks like some kind of science experiment gone wrong.

For those unfamiliar with resizing a photo... Using Amy Schumer's advice above I played a bit and finally figured out the proper syntax for inserting the size parameter into the img link.

1. Click MODIFY in the top right corner of your post.
2. Scroll down and find the line of text where your image link is inserted. At the beginning of the text you should see "img" in brackets.
3. Between the "g" in "img" and the closing bracket, type in a single space and then the text "width=800" (text only, no quotation marks). Also, there should be no space between the "0" in "800" and the closing bracket.
4. Click SAVE.
