Ugly... But Built Like A Flying Bank Vault! (10 Indestructible Planes)

Modern aircraft are built like disposable appliances—plastic, glued, and designed to save weight. But there was a time when airplanes were built like tanks. These are the 10 strongest General Aviation aircraft ever built. The machines with steel roll cages, solid spruce spars, and skins so thick you can walk on them. We are counting down the "Heavy Metal" legends that refuse to crumple, from the "Doctor Killer" that is actually a life-saver to the speed demon that has never had an in-flight structural failure in history. In a world of fragile composites, these are the flying bank vaults that prove Weight is a Safety Feature.
