"Almost everything negative written about the aircraft is utter dross."
Army aviation's A18-303 N22B Nomad was destroyed in an accident on 9th September 1991 somewhere not too far from Tenterfield NSW.
GregP, Please give me more information as to why you think the Nomad was such a great aircraft. I reckon that they were not. My understanding is that they had poor single engine performance along with a fairly critical C of G loading. Plus the tailplanes were vulnerable to severe flutter that caused at least one to break up whilst flying.
(RIP to RAAF ARDU pilot: Flt Lt Glenn Donovan who was killed in N24A A18-401 on 12th March 1989 at Mallala in S.A. when this happened.)
