Is this the ugliest airplane on Earth? Boeing 747 at Heathrow

[becambridge]

if you think it is ugly, then you might be happy to hear that in Janruary 2012, it was re-painted in standard Qantas Livery because the paint is too heavy. VH-VXB still remains

[TheEGGtech]

ANA's Pokemon livery is pretty bad, worse than this!

[angryfurniture]

whoever painted that or wrapped that should be shot on sight. the airline should wake up and realize that all that paint or wrap is a lot of weight. even 100 pounds on a plans skin is enough to cost serious bucks in fuel on any trip.

[mawadhassib]

THERE IS NO UGLY PLANE ON EARTH

[Foxx1981]

It's a 747: it's ugly to begin with. It looks like a snooty baboon

[TheBadkid1001]

The Swiss San Francisco fleet is more ugly

[nzrulz100]

of couse it ugly its qantus!!!!!! Go air new zealand!!!! woot woot

[bluetoad668]

zpre12345 you are crazy Qantas puts the kangaroo on the tail

[bluetoad668]

My top two ugliest  airplanes

1 Continental Airlines

2 Delta

[ExpertPlane101]

Your right qantas does over-do it

[Titleistfan1996]

It is Australian Aboriginie painting

[HamburgAirport]

you mean the aircraft or the paint? well, I dont think a 747 is ugly, its more like a revolution of aviation.

[sebnemnisanci]

well, everyone has different a different taste, if it was my aircraft there is no way I would do that to her ! But the real ugliness actually just bec. it's a boeing 747

[zpre12345]

yeah it is the ugliest! WHO PUTS A KANGAROO ON THE TAIL?!

[MyDS5]

@TOMIHU101 Yep!



[LunaticLucario]

HEY ITS OUR AUSSIE PLANE!!!!!!!

[wizzair1313]

you must be blind this is a masterpiece. your a fuckin British person who doesn't know shit about Australia and its ancestors.

[bluetoad668]

it's just a picture that does not matter LOL!

[ieatyummypoo]

Aboriginal artwork looks horrible I don't understand why those paint sniffers get to have have their bullshit painted on a 747.

[lolita55able]

is that Qantas???

[TheSparcguy]

The reason that Qantas did the design is becuase there change for good program witch Qantas started in the 1990' they wanted a new design on a plane to show that they support it and it is still to this day the larggest art work in the wrold

[Flight3164]

Airborne art art right there, best paint in the world!

[ChorltonBrook]

Just because it's 'art' doesn't mean it's not ugly. There's loads of ugly European art that wouldn't be on an aircraft. Maybe it's someone's idea of a joke.

[lildominicanboy23]

it is........

[TheFirstConcorde]

the worst looking livery ever, and qantas suck

[201andrew]

it looks like really sweet candy. id eat it up

[elconrad2]

its actually aboriginal art on a plane. some argue its politically correct which it kinda is, but that is not an excuse to be intolerant you British people

[andresisthename]

It is ugly, but I have seen uglier airplanes than that.

[satojinnthehero]

Obviously people don't understand the term Aborigines.

[BigBearVids]

YES it is...

[Invissibl]

Boeing :)

[niselat]

It looks like it crashed and burned. Why are we decorating some of our most advanced technology with art from people who think a Bic lighter is god?

[MrMouns63]

i dont care if it goes up in the air safe

[luggigigi]

it is the ugliest i ever seen!

[Rwy02]

The plane should be painted with what the real abos actually do, pick fights in large groups, in general be fuckwits, etc

[LoweredNJuiced]

@TOMIHU101 I didn't say it's ugly, the title asks the viewers if it is ugly or not.

[boomer757]

it's sexy.

[hammoudy1300]

Wunala Dreaming ....

[Paulmichael9]

The aircraft is terrible it's ugly

[BoeingBeatsAirbus]

haha try the A340! all i can say is ugly ugly ugly.

[Samas500]

@BoeingBeatsAirbus get a life qantas is not ugly the deltas are ugly!

[fasterthanyou2]

love it

[Owen1248]

Ive seen that plane or one with same paint job be4. When we were going 2 cuba we were taxing down the run way when it landed on other runway. It looks weird but cool

[123chunhou]

lol very funny

[mrhindo]

lol

[iAirsoft69]

idk, kinda made me horny

[DrNeur0tic]

It's pretty bright and cheerful and I think they painted the plane this way is hoping it would light up the passengers day. ^^

[bjferstern]

That's ugly

[kathen111]

too much things packed in the painting...

[CaptainLongJon]

Its the coolest looking lol

[IRISHpilot747]

Thy plane is beautiful your lucky to hav seen it

[BobAndGeorgia02]

Yes, yes it is.

[sakhalin12]

i think its nice and an expresion of art from the native australians, i think everyone has other opinions of what this looks like to them, so i wouldnt title it ugly :)

[KidFromAus91]

an aboriginal painting on a plane?

not my most favourite choice but it is better than that hello kitty painting you sometimes find on the side of an Eva Air plane

[thalia14girl]

Cool collorfull

[beergut111]

i think its really cool.....a lot better than the crappy planes that airbus puts out.

[cinkmoot]

its hideous

[Nat2370]

Hey, Malaysia Airlines and Cathay Pacific have better liveries that this livery la..... No such thing as hottest or ugliest plane, you compare with comfort and performance

[Java100795]

HOT!

[2wheelmonster]

pretty ugly

[metalflax1]

i love the look of that plane its cool

[SuperBen316]

its not ugly i seen it in real life at an airport and it looks better

[ThAtGaMeRgUy3]

This Canadian says BEAUTY EH?!

[winobint]

As Aboriginal artwork it's great. As a covering for an aircraft... looks like it was parked in an inner city somewhere and vandals have had a go at it

[quikScOpez7]

that's a gr8 plane mate lol

[nurikoinsane]

The Wunala Dreaming!! I like it, you see it every now and then at Ezeiza Airport in Argentina...

[DanielR305]

very overpowering to look att and also there are far too many Aboriginals patterns too also on the plane what were designers thinking?

[Cmarshalll]

Reminds me of the plane from austin powers

[fkghj88]

it not ugly!!!! it aboriginal painting. it looks good

[PlaneAndTVtechfan]

Hello, this plane is (or was) "Wunala Dreaming", Qantas, the livery is Aboriginal art.

[TheScottocs]

no it looks cool

[FSXGuy1]

You know whats ugly your face

[JetJockey87]

Yeah as it is an Aboriginal Art design it would seem Politically Incorrect to say it's ugly. But if you've ever seen some of the cave drawings that I've seen...seeing as some are dated at being 40,000 years old it's pretty damn good art. And QANTAS (the Queensland And Northern Territory Air Service) which remains the only remaining operating airline in the world to have never had a single crash. Their slogan is The Spirit of Australia...hence the drawing of the Aboriginal Spirit Gods. ^_^

[25haro]

whats so ugly bout that!!!!! i think its awsome!!!!!(:

[chrisofcolombia]

I'm from Australia and respect the aboriginal culture - but the person who decided to put their art on an international airplane was smoking too much grass. Definitely ugly, and not good publicity for Oz either. Probably politically motivated - "Look world, we love our abos". Yeah, really.

[jezzer1993]

It looks good :)

[kaichinshih]

well i love that plane...

[JackoHuto]

this designe was for the 2000 sydney olympics it is aboriginal

[Shows42nite]

It's awesome! It sucks. What?

[airbusrated6]

no this is the nalanji dream.

[mvjpal15996]

wow! qantas was the safest and top 1 best plane as of 2009 in the world and yet, this is the design of their plane? hahah! no offense australians! i've been to your country before and its very very nice!

[thedeepfriedhaggis]

I think it's quite dood actually. i think it's Qantas' way of showing that they're proud to be Australian:P

[CanadianMapleLeaf01]

This plane is nice and from Qantas. Design doesn't count, the purpose counts.

[landorf567]

Its a plane that the Native australians kinda designed :) so it aint ugly

[ccantillana2007]

I think it's pretty, as well I read that kind of scheme wants to show a part of culture from Australia, and also I think that I prefer this scheme than NH because they wants to promote other kind of comercial things, I mean the Pokemon, Disney's scheme.

[ronny4ever123]

I think its cool!

[ronny4ever123]

good plane and wacky colorations... kind of wierd dont you think?

[kurandatrain]

as far as ugly ,NO WAY, that is aboriginal art work and it belongs to a culture that goes way back. glad to see Qantas doing this,,WAY TO GO --QANTAS--

[mani1234567898520]

no lookes great

[gorleegor]

This is the aboriginal culture that should not be negatively commented. This is the spirit of Australia.  I am happy to see such the livery to reflect our Australian value.

[MrSaxJase]

Being Aussie, and having flown in that very 747 a couple of times between Sydney and LA, I am quite a fan!

[HighFlyerx0]

Wunala Dreaming.

I dont really like it.. and I'm from Aus. I mean, it looked cool for the first day or too.. ^_^

[airboy1997]

[Quarker99]

@airboy1997 ROFLmao @ spelling. srry kthxbai.

[Fuchizaa]

Looks like a tapeworm...

[TodayHi1953]

it looks cool!!!

[99959blue]

its not the airplane its the airline

[Shane028]

Seriously they just ruined a 747.....

[marzie9]

You guys makein fun of australian airline? BOO YOU! it is very cool and very stylish.

[CaptainAyos]

Dont even start with the beluga.

[ConcordeCentral]

i love the 747 but in this livery... no

[TheLn14]

Hey thats one of the best looking planes ever- wunala dreaming. :/

[sb1productions]

i actually think thats quit cool looking...much better then a regular white one thats 4sure!

[roville1111]

yes it is the paint job that gives the final look to any air craft.

[roville1111]

as somanny has said above there is no plane still designed to out look the B 747 no wonder she is called the queen of the skys, even the B 777, looks hard and stronger, A380 also could have been designed in a better shape, but now it looks like a massive fly, yet the A330's and the a 340's are nice. they look like aircrafts.

[eskercurve]

Wow. All I'll say is ... THANK YOU QANTAS FOR THE $! Sincerely, a Boeing engineer. It must've cost a fortune to paint it that way.

[Quarker99]

this is an aboriginal (indigenous peoples' of australia) design on the Qantas jet... you dont see too many of those.

[bobistheman02]

i think its kinda cool

[Uygur102]

lol i dont know if everybody knows what '' carnaval '' is but it looks like a carnaval plane, or clown plane XD

[bzach71]

carnaval or carnival?

[Bobajobimus]

Got to confuse the birds.

[grahamaroo]

scary big plane! :)

[panamcunard]

I don't you ever call a 747 ugly again!

[2Benzene2]

Even my shit are way cooler than this plane.

[flarion2345]

any 747 looks amazing regardless of the paint job

[mike1998ish]

i saw this on my holiday in australia last week

[SuperRetard22]

That is cooler that white ones YES!

[bluegrl80]

As beautiful as this would be anywhere else, on a plane I personally find it overpowering.

[glennauii]

This plane got me home safe from LA. I think it looks awesome compared to the boring white ones.

[nupthatisit]

Good on Qantas for expressing the true Australian culture to the world that is different to the bogus view of us being a nation of criminals. This plane is called Wunala Dreaming and its origins come from the Yanyuwa nation in the Gulf of Carpenteria. The wunala (what we white people call kangaroos) represent the spirits of ancestors who travel from tribe to tribe to lead them to food and water. Appropriate that they should then represent Qantas' Spirit of Australia.

[Willoz269]

This is what happens when you leave your aeroplane on the far apron overnight in Sydney....lol

[MageDagger]

Lol @ the negatives and positives below :D its fun reading opinions of human beings :D

[LoweredNJuiced]

Yup! That's why it's titled like that! LOL...

[MageDagger]

LOL,

smart :D

[wiiwheel64]

stands out from other planes, rename this video

[amitnarayankar]

beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.......to me it looks like a beautiful piece of art........

[mromarandy]

Neon lights on the underbelly would be nice...

[aerlingus88]

taken from terminal 4 then eh??

[emilyrichgal2]

How is it ugly O_O!!!

Its beautiful and it stands out the other planes....

[lelekoJumboJet]

You are saying that the 747 is the ugliest plane or the Aborigin paintjob? Because,IMHO,both are A-W-E-S-O-M-E!

[vodkerdude]

I think this bird is a masterpiece and have had the good fortune of flying on the original. Ugly ?? Guess you just dont have an eye for these things. Shes beautiful.

[becambridge]

you son of a bitch, it is a design that explains aborigional history. I would like to see you say the title to my face

[deccas1391]

This is an repaint of some ancient Aboriginal paintings. I'm not sure calling it "ugly" is the right thing to say.

[walterchristopher]

I am from Australia..and yes the Aboriginies have had it hard..But only they can truly rise above the past just like other people and cultures have had to do. The victim mentality is really so self defeating over time.

[julianshield1]

Well aren't you a nice guy, you fucking down syndrome cunt.

[walterchristopher]

lol truth hard to take julian ..if your going to insult me please at least make some sense??

[julianshield1]

What normal Australian pays out Aboriginals? This was their land for thousands of years. Have some respect you little shit.

[walterchristopher]

Julian you sound like a patronizing wimp expecting less from Aboriginals by your "pays out on Aboriginals" statement. If you expect less of a person or people Thats exactly what you will get you are part of what is the problem when it comes to these most ancient of peoples.

PS Swearing at me only lessons your credibility.

[julianshield1]

HA, you were the one commenting on my comment saying "It's shit." I don't give a FUCK if you think swearing lessens my credibility. Get FUCKED you little piece of SHIT.

[walterchristopher]

lol..oh you care alright...I hit a nerve huh!

[julianshield1]

Yeah, you hit a nerve, you fucking shit talking prick.

[nupthatisit]

Aboriginal Australians will find it hard to "rise above the past" if you say if people like you make idiotic comments like you have, it continues to keep them down. It's attitude like yours that is more counterproductive than helpful.

And yes, I am Australian, and no I'm not Aboriginal. Although I have taught (and in fact do teach) Aboriginal high school kids.

[walterchristopher]

"Rise above the past" Oh for heavens sake stop patronizing a whole race of people.  What we all need is a few more Noel Pearsons a man/leader who the politicians and others here should take note of...

[GTAstuntman101]

its the ugliest airplane PAINTJOB, the ugliest is the sisters beluga and a380

[oinb]

the most beautiful plane is the boeing 777

boeing 747 is ugly

[julianshield1]

Don't discriminate against pure Aboriginal artwork, it's amazing!

[walterchristopher]

Its shit

[pjtc85]

I'll tell you which plane is ugly. Southwest airlines 737's. They look like flying crayons. This 747 is more attractive. . . from far away.

[ghana4me]

i think it looks nice

[SuperDuperLlama]

I'd say it's better than a plain white plane. At least it has some design.

[stewyshaw]

im from aus and i hate that plane...it is so bad, the plain white qantas planes look better

[ned987]

The 747 is nice looking, but not in THESE colors

[TheAeroman]

You gotta be stupid to think that is ugly.

[20mseanb07]

This actually isn't really that bad. I think it's kind of a cool design. The colors could probably use some change, but the design is kinda neat.

[kermit0301]

I bet your American?

[alexx2300]

Its a Qantas aircraft painted with an Aboriginal design..

[plavins1]

hippie airlanes!!!!

[citycitizen90210]

aussie! aussie! aussie! oi oi oi

[YOUBETCHA21]

this is a good plane! its beautiful! you must be someone from the middle east

[rodspny]

Amazing gourgeous beautiful Qantas old painting!

[countrytalk97]

[inksterminator232]

thats actualy not that bad

[oidaaaascr]

only a boeing can be that ugly...

[YOUBETCHA21]

haha airbus is fucking barf ugly

[AfgTube1]

thats not ugly wtf is wrong wit u people

[kalanike]

This is a beautiful livery for an aircraft, nonetheless the proper aircraft that it was put on in the first place :-)

To those who hate on this design, don't. It's a history of a countries native people, The Aboriginies. (I hope I spelled it correctly).

Much respect to The Aboriginals and To Australia!

[TheAceshowbiz]

lol qantas

[flightattendant01]

definatly NOT an ugly aircraft!!!!! =O

All planes are beautiful =] haha

[mkortbek]

What are you talking about, this is "Wunala Dreaming" the most beautiful aircraft out there flying today and have been for years!
