My vote (a bit too tacky for me ):





The missing tooth is a nice touch.

Sure looks strange to me (One eye?)...

The extreme examples in this thread notwithstanding, it truly amazes me how many people can spend huge amounts of money to build or restore an aircraft, then totally ruin the thing with a hideous paint job. Just walk around any major aviation gathering and you'll see plenty of examples of this. Always makes me shake my head....

I wear a Pendleton Coat, There was only one that looked that bad!! and that one was the one that was for the Husky's!!

The John Denver 210 was for sale recently. It was a good value. My wife and I kicked the idea of buying it around a bit, but in the end decided we couldn't stomach that hideous pait job and didn't want to spend additional money to have it repainted. I believe the fellow who bought it posted some youtube videos of backcountry landings in it (it's STOL equipped).

Almost matches those jump planes, between this plane and the U of O plane gotta question Horizon's judgment:


I have to say it kinda makes me want to fly this airline! Bet her dad is proud!

Nope, picture was taken at Catalina Island (Avalon, CA). But the plane might be out of Santa Barbara.

Ya gotta admit that an airplane built by Shorts is a great beginning canvas for a hideous paint scheme.....
