I don't know, but they used one in the Mad Max movie, "Thunderdome."

 

[N18040]

Transavia PL-12 Airtruk. I knew what it was right away, but it took me a minute to remember the name.

Almost as ugly as the mess that is in your avatar

That mess in my avatar had been in my family longer than I had when the tiedowns broke last year. 55kt winds can really mess up a 150.

Ugh, that must have been a hard one to deal with. Hope you guys were able to replace it.

Man, I would put that right up there with the death of my dog Did insurance cover it?

 

[N18040]

Yeah the FBO has replaced the ropes at least twice in the 15ish months since that happened.

Cool post, thx.

Looking at that is a lot like trying to talk yourself into a date with a a woman you respect but really don't want to go out with.
:dunno:

 

[scooter2525]

Sounds like y'all need a hanger.

almost as weird as the German BV141.

 

[The Gardener]

I can only think of one thing.


FAIL!

It looks like there's a cabin underneath the cockpit. Interesting.

 

[TallFlyer]

In the non-Ag version apparently there was a cabin for four people. Useful load according to a few sources was around 2,000 lbs.

It's predecessor was a little bit weirder looking.

Cue Waco extolling the virtues of radials to flat sixes and OA talking about his Beaver.

Form follows function. And one wonders if a Russian had a hand in this one with those green wheel caps although they are a bit brighter than the usual Russian green.

But this airplane is at the other end of the usual scale with a swagger required at both extremes.. like an F-22 guy and then the guy flying this thing. "YOU FLY THAT??? WOW!" Both evoke a certain awe.
