I'm sorry to tell you Bloggs, but you've failed your check ride on the walk round.

Cessna's development of their Land-O-Matic system still had some way to go.

On the other hand, they had definitely cracked the challenges of Open-View.

I swear, it's a Transformer! Although, come to think of it, he did have a pronounced limp...

I made it from bits I knocked off from Davis-Montham. I've seen a B58 recce pod in there, which should make a good cargo hold.
