The cessna grand caravan claims to be an amazingly versatile aircraft. While perusing Anet, My eyes have been opened to this unbelievable plane. It is slowly becoming one of my favorites.

Now heres something I didnt expect: A cessna GUNSHIP! Shocked

Replace commie with 'fundamentalist of choice' and you are as current as you can be.

Its stories like this that remind me how durable aircraft really can be. I think most people believe aircraft are fragile and delicate. Wink
