Did you know???

Good evening all... ;)

Was out today chewing the rag with a few other Old Retired Rocking Chair Flying Geezers and one of the lads had an article on this.

Thought I would look it up when I got home and post the above Link... ;)

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

Goodly morning all... :)

Thanks for the comment Larry... :)

I have seen one or two other aircraft that look quite similar
in appearance to that one and for the love of me can not think of their names or where I saw them... ::)      :-/

Larry is it true we have memory lapses as we get older...can't remember... ;D

Very cool aircraft! Thanks for the link. I love unusual airplanes. :)

As for others that are similar in appearance: At the bottom of the wikipedia article in your link, there is a section that says "see also", under that are two links under the headline "comparable aircraft". Those might be what you were thinking of. You might also check out the Lear Fan. ;)
