[quote name='wanksta' date='Jul 17 2005, 12:51 PM']Flying for a cargo company doing on-demand charters. Basicly, sit around and wait for trips. Mainly flying auto parts from the suppliers to the car plants. Just started flying a Falcon 20...but I was flying a Shorts 360 for the last two years.



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!





Sounds like a sweet courtesy car Gotta love em!

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

Shorts Brothers actually had a hand in building the Titanic

 

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