I could never figure out why it had retractable gear. Fixed gear with and strut fairings would have saved all those hydraulics and allowed space for more fuel.
Still I did enjoy flying them. The “A” was “Interesting” power wise coming off some decks on a hot day. The C++ was a nice ride and the best of the lot. Never got to fly a B or D.
Check Pilot on day one: “This is the 76. You will find it much too complicated for what it does!”
