i dont know why but something abought it screams " special purpose"  to me... something like a surveyor or geo observer  job 

but it does look darn fine  :thumbsup:
the things you learn, give your mind the wings to fly, and the chains to hold yourself steady
take off and nuke the site form orbit, nope, time for the real thing, CAM and gridfire, call special circumstances. 
wow, its like freefalling into the Geofront

Pilatus & Swiss spring into my mind when I look at it.
Has a life outside of What-If & wishes it would stop interfering!

Quote from: Scotaidh on June 30, 2024, 04:04:13 AMFor some reason when I look at it my mind screams ''Swedish!''

Yeah, I got you....Maybe as Coin aircraft in this lovely 80-ies splinter scheme...

I like Old Wombat's suggestion to make it a Pilatus & Swiss aswell. Maybe all over dull silver like the F+W C3605?

Mmmm choices, choices....

With my mind being slightly twisted for some strange reason I'm seeing a agri crop sprayer 😆
It's a couple of minutes to 6am here Monday morning and haven't had my first coffee yet 🙃

This is looking great David mate..really looks cool 😎
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Oh, poor boy!  your weekend is already over...

Maybe it resembles vaguely an Fletcher FU-24 or PAC P.750? I do get you, but given the sweptwings it's probably faster than a cropduster. Hence the Coin role.

You could go any direction with this. To me something says high altitude recon or that communication mission NASA's WB-57s were flying over the 'Stan. Lots of lumps and bumps for that. NASA or some other agency research aircraft. DEA looking for drug runners over the Caribbean.

All great opportunities. I didn't realize it was that multipurpose... like a leatherman  :rolleyes:

Ooh, what about a high-ish speed anti-drug cropduster?
The weeds the spray doesn't get will be taken care of by the slipstream! ;D

Joining this late, but to me this one has "Sandy" written all over it. In a fit of interservice rivalry, the US Navy reacted to the Air Force's choice of the carrier-capable A-1 Skyraider as a combat rescue escort by deciding to do something completely different and perverse by ordering into a production for the same role a version of the A-6 Intruder....
