This was posted in one of the aviation blogs as the best of aviation porn, but there wasn't a single fat tire in all of the footage. I consider this very soft-core. Still, it is pretty...

Cool none the less.

Good post, thanks.

I'd love a chance to fly that sherpa...

Pretty sure that's a van not a sherpa. Pulled a couple of years working on those beer cans.

Loved the little phone booth doors for the flight deck and the rudder bars. They had to wip it pretty hard to keep the Jets comfortable. Great hauling plane once the operating and maintenance are figured out. They are life limited though.

My mistake, looked like a C-23 to me.

Easy to make. 330/ c-23 has the a little more point in front and pt-6. Only operator of c-23 I think is that army. We looked at converting 330 to sherpas. But the whole rear of the airplane is different. And grafting to .015 skins is not easy!

Ah, gotcha. Thanks!
