You're probably asking "where's the pilot?". Someone had to take the picture

That's a PA23 Apache, a design acquired by Piper when they bought Stinson. Powered by a pair of O-320 150 hp Lycoming engines, if one failed it was find an airport time

Ah, the Apache!

I've used that model in screenshots for SimV contests. One of the few planes I've found that doesn't have a pilot.

The Apache addon, one of the few planes where you can immediately tell that the users have not read the documentation. There is a simple keypress to show the pilot and copilot in all views.
I do not have the plane installed right now, but I want to say that it is the default spoilers key...
