A plane so ugly it's beautiful.

One of the loudest jets ever made too!

This is a 707 with turbofans (I think) relatively quiet as jets go.

Are you thinking of the EA-6?

Loud is good (the sound of freedom)! And ugly? You can hang a lot of humps & bumps on a 707 and it still looks beeyootiful to me.

The 707 was loud. Many have had noise dampeners installed, but some, mostly foreign owned don’t comply with new noise standards and still can be heard a long ways away.
But the E-6 does not use the same engine as the old 707.
