Name that airplane

[cwyckham]

Here's another fun name that airplane game. This one is parked on my home airfield in New Zealand. Sadly, it's not currently airworthy.

Perhaps this one's a bit too obvious, but I wanted the excuse to post pictures of myself in front of a very unique little airplane. You don't see one of these puppies every day!

Well, that didn't take long. I knew it was too easy.

I think it's a really cool little airplane. It must be weird to land it from way up on the second story. I'd love to try flying it.

Doesn't this belong in the "Best All-Around Plane" thread?

If you said, Ugliest, I would agree. It's a high- and a low-wing so it counts in both categories.

It does carry 3 passengers....


Weird airplane, I've always wanted to see one in person.

That one next to Chris doesn't look too hot.

Where else will you find a light single in which the pilot sits upstairs and the passengers downstairs, like a B-747??

All it needs is a grand piano.

There was a dealer in OK that brought an AirTruk to the Aerospace America Airshow at OKC back in the 80's. Each evening he would taxi it back to the hangar on the GA ramp (AAR, I think, was the FBO then). It was rather comical to see the pilot sitting atop that airframe with a big grin as he went by, almost as though he was pedaling to keep it moving.

Well that is the ugliest GD airplane I've ever seen! And I love airplanes!

I've wanted one of those since the first time I saw a picture of one!

 

[flyingcheesehead]

Wow, that's an ugly duckling! What is it, a baby Shorts?

You and me, both, Tony. I'd just LOVE to have one!

Add me to the list. I'd think it would be a hoot to take one of those to flyins.

It's called the "mother in law" ; for obvious reasons.
