Title: Anyone here flown a Compair?
Post by: gibbo_335 on April 06, 2010, 03:26:36 AM: The drop zone boss is looking into getting a few Compairs into Aussieland, has anyone in here had anything to do with them? ??? ??? ??? ???

They are butt ugly, BUT at 210 TAS and nearly 1300 kg useful load (that's a whole pile of meat bombs ;D )they seem impressive

Ever heard of something being so ugly it goes full circle and becomes beautiful (this doesn't work for the Pontiac Aztek though)?

Or is there some "dropzones are not commercial operations" loophole in effect here?
