I know - there's actually a fairly good discussion of pros and cons at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pusher_configuration#Engine_installation_considerations. But at least it makes prop planes look a little more like jets, the way aircraft are supposed to look like ;)...

The old Cessna Skymaster/O-2 had one puller and one pusher. Suck and blow.

If the rear engine quit the pilot wouldn't know it until he checked his gauges.

Sorry, what's a jet? There are bunsen burners & then there are real, piston-engined, aircraft! ;) ;D

True - after all, the ability to go at least supersonic is what separates real airplanes from toys ;).

A modeler in Iran built the Academy 1/35 AH-1W in Iranian markings.


http://aircraftresourcecenter.com/Gal13/12701-12800/gal12714-AH-1-Adl/00.shtm

It's one of those subtle whiffs, that you wouldn't notice right off since the Iranians have SeaCobras.
