And they say were mad

Looks quite feasable build wise, any one got a spare matchbox T 2 to butcher?

Thats really nice!

Wow ! Is that ever neat....just something about extra seats. I recall being in awe as a kid the first time (at the Hamilton Intl, Airshow ) I saw a skyraider with that huge canopy


Who's gonna build one ?

Hmmm... I see an early high performance personal light jet coming up. Just the thing for the millionaire who wants to impress their friends.  Might have to make access a little easier though.

It could actually be done using the cockpit/nose section off an prowler

I don't remember seeing those, but the sight is welcome.  I've always been surprised that more wasn't done with the Buckeye.  The airframe seems to have a lot of potential.  The Sabreliner may have been more capable in the short run, but no one could've foreseen the need for a Prowler trainer.  Or a RIO/BN trainer for the F-111B.  Heck, in the countries where Buckeyes have ended up being used in the light attack role, the four-seater could be pressed into service as a poor-man's Prowler.

at the very least you'd need some engines with a bit more ommph!!

excellent idea.

thanks for posting the photos.

may have the fuselage of the matchbox kit in stash to butcher,
