Thanks LM...one can only wonder, "what if?". In actual fact we've had it before, albeit not from that angle.

Here's a 2-view to consider:

It just goes to prove what I have often though - post one which has been done before, but in a completely different way, and see how long it stands up.

Talking of which, it looks like yours could be up for a while (if you'll excuse the phrase).

Since you and I are the only ones on thread at the moment, I'd better get a move on.

I think Kylie Minogue once quoted "I should be so lucky!"......

Yep, last time the Kingfish was on it was a 3-view if I recall.

I'm sure it could be used as such, but I don't believe that was part of the original design criteria.

The only reason I said that is because the rear fuselage looks like it might have rear-opening doors.

It sure looks like it was designed for rough-field work as well.

So's the forum,
That wouldn't have anything do do with something called football would it?

Skytrain10,

If I did not know any better, I would say the Jurca (TEGAS) MJ-54 Silas from La Douce France.

If correct, I hope LM is still awake or waill wake up soon

and yes, I do watch the football although I have seen better matches

However, no.
