1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Quite simply repulsive... it's a cross between a P-38 and a Learjet, which on their own are good looking, but put together.... WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?!

I'm rather fond of it. I'd say it is the civilian Saab J-21.

Have you guys seen this one yet?  Its a personal jet.  They're also making a military trainer variant as well.

I don't think it will be as competitive as the others in the "ugly contest" however.
