Cool aircraft...but mine was a beauty!These aren't made to win beauty contests. Function beats fashion.
UGLY?? I think it's bad ass good looking

Vectored thrust is fantastic!
Now THAT is a gorgeous aircraft that also packed a punch.
My mom's cousin is a Major in the Air Force and delivered one of the F-35s to a Navy Carrier for testing. He use to be a test pilot on the F22.
It's actually called STOVL (Short Take Off and Vertical Landing) on the F-35B.
With the AV-8B, it was called V/STOL (Vertical/Short Take Off and Landing)
They're the same thing IMO, so I don't know why the name change?
And I find most fighters beautiful and even some bombers too.

The comrades have some lookers too, particularly their Flankers.
A10, awesome plane as far as its capability goes, but nobody in their right mind would say its a beautiful plane. It's a ford pinto in the car world!!
This. Badass mofo. Not beautiful by any means.
Super loud, irritating when they would land every thirty minutes in Bagram!
