The most unique aircraft I saw at AOPA Summit 2013

Saw the aircraft at air venture this year,was parked off to the side. Had a nice talk with the pilot. Still can't figure out why they need the clamshell doors in the back. Didn't have a fixed price yet.
 
Neat looking bird, albeit a tad draggy looking.
 
Neat design, but it seems a bit too small to be able to take advantage of the clamshell doors. If it was a few feet longer it would have more uses.
 
I got to peek around this at SnF this past year. Interesting airplane. I can't remember if it had the floats on it then.
 
Reminds me of the PL-12 Airtruk. (Bonus points if you remember the pop culture reference without using Google or Wikipedia)

Never seen or heard of it before. The back doors swing wide open--military like.

Perfect drug drop off plane(put hydraulics on the doors to open inf light).

Mafia could drop bodies over the ocean....

Or good jump plane 4-5 jumpers at a time- empty weight of 1100lbs and 5300 GW.

Also good for Alaska to load supplies in the bush, did you see the take off runway required? less 1000'.

Not bad.

Utility is right....

I don't see these imagined use layout/configurations on their website. They are in their brochure/flyer:

Lol, way better looking than that Mad Max contraption, plus I'd rather fly a Russian plane than an Aussie one.
