TS-11 Iskra jet. Polish. You could get one for the price of your TB-9.

Bryan, a Polish TS-11 ?

Trailing style nose gear and tail make me think so.

That looks like it. cool.
Saw that thing behind a hanger and had to check it out.

It looks like it wants to go fast.

Speed isn't really it's strong point. Then again, it goes faster than my plane so I wouldn't complain.

It looks like it wants to go fast.

I think it just needs to go. Been sitting it that same spot (or on other side of same ramp space) for over 2 months at least.

But I agree, it is cool.

Looks like a TS11. Usually you can get a good deal on them,if you can afford the fuel burn. Very cool looking. Raptor aviation had a couple for sale a while back.

Problem is, you'll spend at least that cost a year operating it.

OOPS. It looks like the same one, different ad.

 

[SixPapaCharlie]

Careful doing that. I don't want to buy it twice.
