darkwing 5 #2 April 8, 2004 The world meet in 1979 was out of them. I had the dubious honor of jumping them. Not one of my favorite aircraft. Tough transition going from a C-182 for practice and the nationals to a nasty, high-speed tailgate at the world meet.

nacmacfeegle 0 #3 April 8, 2004 Never heard of one till you mentioned it. Where will it be?

airgord 1 #5 April 9, 2004 Looks alot like a C-119 that the US military used to use, Different nose and the tailboom strakes are different, maingear too. French built? Looks like it will be fun but wear good hearing protection. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
