Its no angel...

Its the noisiest aircraft in the cape.! Dont know what its like from the inside in flight, but on the ground one can hear its distinctive noise from 25 kms out... oh...here comes the Angel !!.

There were some initial ? issues, like wheels chucking stones back into the props and when parked with full fuel in the sun...opened up the wing !!!

Not sure how they solved that one. Bigger rivets or better glue.? Or both?

Interesting design concept for a clean wing...but NOISY !!!

Is it a homesick one or just a normal charter truck ?
