Why, though, did they have them push instead of pull? Who is/was VFW? I go with almost everyone on the Connie for the best looking prop, but I nominate the Electra (four-engine) for worst. Maybe it's just because I was so scared about the wings staying on while I was aboard. I agree the StratoLiner was pretty ugly. Jets all look a lot alike. I think the classic 737's are pretty ugly on the ground. The gooselike MD-8? is nice in the air.
