I think it is....mind you, i also like the look of the Aitruk...but those Bears are real "manplanes" ...love them.

Um Ian, you do know what the "U" in BUFF is, don't you???
Fit for purpose... they'd have to be, to survive half a century in service.
Mean is the closest common denominator...

CP, despite what the French would have you believe, Airbus is owned by a Dutch-registered multinational company.
