I have to cast my vote as follows...

Best looker: By a mile, the 707 - (any version-except the USAF hog-nose
types)
The 707 with is sleek-dynamic design from nose to tail. The VHF antenna
atop the vertical stabilizer was the signature that made her stand out
from the crowd. Even the models were awesome machines. That
'jet-age-has-arrived' look made them the 747 of their day, they out sold
all everything in their class! DC-8s, VC-10s, 880s, 990s and IL-62s. It
was so stylish the chinese tried to dupe it with it's YU-12 or whatever
that was!

Best of all time: The majestic 747 -(no bad models exist) This thing
turns heads no matter where it is or what it's doing. Does the A340 do
this? Of course not. Will the A380? Maybe...but will it have the same
grace and stylish appeal? To be answered shortly.

The Ugliest: The Fairchild Hiller C-119 Boxcar- Just look at a photo..it
speaks for itself.

Uglliest Jet: VFW 614 - What were they thinking?
