Like trundling about atop a stepladder.Trash these Airtrucks all you want but I'm thinking a whole bunch of us would love to fly one.
Sure, like maybe the pilot's toes, which have gotta be right up against the firewall. Grilled toe-jam sandwich, anyone? Comin' right up!What did they used to say? She's UGLY, but she sure can cook!
nope.Trash these Airtrucks all you want but I'm thinking a whole bunch of us would love to fly one.
And some evolved to look better as a jet:
Ah but that just serves to blow all that engine heat back on the pilot! FW190 on steroids.Ahh but there is a big wind flogging fan just a metre away to keep the toeses cool.
True, but then again NZ is the land of the long wet cloud so a certain amount of warm airflow is needed to dry the socks and everyone knows how painful frozen socks would be. Of course the airframe driver would need to continuously regulate the balance of the cooling air from the wind flogging fan via the ventilation scoop and the radiated warmth provided by Pratt and Whitney via the firewall.Ah but that just serves to blow all that engine heat back on the pilot! FW190 on steroids.
And the Folland Gnat even more soYeah, the jet Provost isn't the loveliest of crates. The Hawker Sea Hawk was far better looking.

This one is ugly. Sud-Ouest SO-6000 Triton.

and then this Italian beauty. I like the optimism of the paint job. Just a little flair to make it all good.
