They are famous Greenland snowmobile manufactures, long gone. Bombardier may have had something bigger in mind, like this beautiful aircraft.

You learn something every day.

However, this is not from Bombardier.

It was the original 757 concept with a T-tail.

Originally designated the 227, but was never built in this configuration.

I'm not sure it was ever raced, the story on their website seems to finish at the 2008 season.

John

If my guess at post #13421 is correct please make it Open House as I shall be on the road shortly, thanks.
