Here is a picture of the Shorts...

She is kinda ugly...but it is really fun to fly and rather unique. However, I just love flying the Falcon...rather old plane but sure looks good! Nice to be in a jet...finally!

Yeah, we do have one Sherpa actually...



But the military has the ones that baiscly...like the one I pictured with bigger engines...



However, it just has the different tail with the rear cargo door. Being smaller with bigger engines... Army gets to have all the fun!



But all made by the same Irish company Shorts...



I would guess LOTS of pints of Guinness were drank designing that airplane https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

Shorts Brothers actually had a hand in building the Titanic https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

that's very reassuring, knowing that they build planes now.
