I always found the Crusader III ugly... BUT that livery really, really makes it look better. Big black nose and the intake a different color... beautiful !
That angle in particular is perfect.

I like it much better than the A-7 and F-8, or X-32 or Su-75 for that matter whose intakes more closely resemble its. I'd rename it Barracuda, because that's what the mouth looks like to me.

I also think it looks hungry and if I were in a Vietnamese MiG with saw that maw chasing me I might just eject.
