Geez I'd forgotten all about the YAK 40 now that was an aeroplane and it would do ALL of the things of which nasa dreams.
I've had the pleasure of one and all other things being equal was quite an impressive machine being designed as it was for pretty rugged use in downtown Siberia and Novosibirsk.
Not only that but the local garage mechanic in Quilpie can fix it with a crow bar and an axe.
