Right, as I'm unable to find a link between the subject aircraft and the American Aerolights Falcon, but seeing as they're terribly similar in configuration and several small details, Self loading bear has control. I'm pretty sure that this is a further derivative from that first design, but cannot confirm it.

The subject aircraft is registered as an AERO FALCON INTERNATIONAL INC - KNIGHT FALCON. I can find only two of these in the FAA database, both deregistered. The photo was taken by me at the Vintage Flying Museum in Fort Worth.

Any additional information is welcome, as I'm curious too by now!


The only clues on the photo are the registration and 'Knight Falcon' just underneath the transparency.
