I'm not included then?

Is there anything at all in common with my last challenge?

Surely that was a radial-engined tail-dragger.

MarkP123, nice to see you on the thread but are you replying to the correct one?!? I've already said that the challenge aircraft has a nosewheel! And is a yank!

Sorry missed your question... Anything to do with the flying suppository? No!
(apart from it being a yank!)

The speed of mine...?? A touch under 200kts

Would that difference be in that the first was twin-finned?

Afternoon all,

How about the Vega Starliner ? The gear doesn't seem to be completey covered when up and it's a subsidiary of Lockheed.

Thanks for being my F7 LM!

If it is the Vega then the 1300hr clues where very well timed for me as I would never had looked at 6-seaters!!
