Any shots of the aircraft color scheme for modellers?
There are numerous on line, look up "UV-18 Twin Otter." The USAFA had one bird painted in a commemorative D-Day scheme

Simple, the nose wheel goes to the rearWell, you say that now but wait until you remove the nose armor................
Aww, c'mon man, how can you mouth such heresy?There better looking than the P39
I could look up sources and bring back the Bell X-5 argument. Naah, I like the quiet and peace.
"464" and "465" carried N numbers since the time they were purchased by the USAF. "835" was operated by the US Army and was acquired in the late 1980s (I believe) and did not receive an N number when delivered. When I was on the program there was always talk of doing a conformity inspection on 835 and give it an N number. These aircraft would be considered "Public Use" and "may" be inspected by the FAA - never officially spoken but I think the USAF wanted that so a layer of oversight was built in as it was accepted these would always be contractor maintained.FLYBOYJ
Thanks for these. Looking on line for more UV-18B @ USAFA. Curiosity makes me ask why they carry both USAF and civil registration?
You must be joking that is a nascent Concorde, onwards and upwards.
I love the Safety Plane. Why use riveted panels when you could use screws?OK. Since you want controversy, which is better looking, a P-39 or this:

Hint: It was used in the 1942 movie," Flying Tigers."
Personally, I think almost anything looks better than this thing, maybe even a PZL Zubr!

Maybe even this: View attachment 637705
Which looks like a deranged Irish Wolfhound mated with at spider monkey.
If you spot an aircraft in a movie you want to check out, head over to the Internet Movie Plane Database.I love the Safety Plane. Why use riveted panels when you could use screws?
That might be the first plane I ever tried to research on Wiki. I had to know if it was real or not.
