Y'know what I'm talking about, we've all seen them...those airplanes that have cowls that look like smiles...I'll start off the list:
anything Cubcrafters
Piper PA22 (Tri-Pacer has a Hitler-style mustache thrown in!)

What airplanes have YOU caught looking like they're up to no good?? :goofy:

This guy looks like trouble either in the air or on the runway.

My Cardinal always smiles for me but I can't upload a picture right now.
 
^^^^ I've never noticed that before. I like it!
 
TPE-331s that are properly oriented with the bottom half as the air inlet. Notice the Commander 690:

That thing has a look of pure, utter regret...it's like, "I trusted you, and this is what you did to me!"

Good eyes, everyone! Never noticed some of these, especially the DC-8!
 
I'd say by the looks of the cable stretched out, he probably had a hung gear or unsafe gear issue.
 
Yes, he looks like he's about to eat that van.
 
These are the same guys who had the "We'll wiggle our tails for you" ad campaign before the flight attendants protested.
PSA did have "hot pants" FA uniforms, but the line you're thinking of was from Continental ("The Proud Bird with the Golden Tail"):
"We really move our tail for you
To make your every wish come true
On Continental Airlines
We really move our tail for yoooouuuuuuu!"

They actually served food on airliners. Loved everyone traveled in suites and dresses

The 1st gen Bellanca 14-19 with the Lyc O-435 always made me think of Jimmy Durante.
