skytrain10 is correct From Turk Hava Kuramu, (THK), the proposed jet trainer THK-16 Mehmetcik. 2 Turbomeca Pimene turbojets was the intended power. Your turn.

Hi Ken!

To save a lot of searching, a homebuilt?

Yes, a homebuild, but a somewhat unusual design - despite appearances

Along those lines, yes, albeit that the tail also includes the wings and rear fuselage

It vaguely resembles a Glastar but the gear is wrong. Hmmmm.

Not a Glastar CGB, and no connection with it that I'm aware of.

No and no Martin.

Hi Karl, hope all is well up in the North Star state?

Tandem wing, Ken?
No, just what you see - a high wing mono.

Do you need a clue?

All is well here Ken, hope the same for you.

Just making sure you weren't hiding a wing in the shadows somewhere something like this.
