They might as well paint "Prop strike here --->" on the cowling before taking that thing off airport. I don't think you could even wheel land with stock undercarriage.

There was one that sat on the ramp at Skagit airport KBVS for a couple years after a prop strike.
My thought was that some old skywagon pilot owned it,
forgot about that long nose and either wheel landed it or let the tail come up on takeoff.
It is definitely a 3-point-only show with one of those.
