Something a little different

Here are pictures of some distinctly civil aircraft at the airshow. As promised in my last post, I've included what must be the ugliest aircraft in existance [surely not even it's designer could love this one!]!

First is the ugly one. ZK-AMW is an Aeronautical Corp Aeronca 100 Ultralight. Its engine is a massive 36hp [wow!]. Apparantly it still holds the record for the lowest powered aircraft to cross Africa. You could probably run faster :-) Oh yeah - that ugly thing sticking up is part of the aircraft. Having said all that, it would probably be fun to fly anyway!

Anyway, the rest of them are:

EDR is a Jodel D.11
EEF is a Gardan GY-20 Minicab Ultralight
PKT is an Alpi Aviation Pioneer 200
NDI is an Airborne Outback trike

    Ouch that one definately fell outta the ugly tree. Hm crossing Africa on 36hp? Someone's brave.

    The Pioneer 200 looks quite nice tho! Ya know the old saying if it looks right chances are it will fly right heh heh!
