yeadrian 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2008 (edited) Pardon me, I really have to sound rude. That aircraft looks as if it is made of carboard boxes glued together, and the red "lips" makes it looks like a monster.... After looking at all those flushed aerodynamically eye pleasing aircrafts, this is one grotesque looking aircraft..... Now I wonder why they call it fixed wing "amphibian" aircraft!!!

Sharil Abdul Rahman 0 Report post Posted December 7, 2008 i think they will repaint the whole plane - hence the bare alu look? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Radzi 2 Report post Posted December 7, 2008 Errr..... why the Canadian rego if MEA already bought it?... I think the aircraft type is still not certified by the Malaysian DCA. The pilots bringing it home probably have Canadian license ant type-rating, hence the Canadian registration. I'm sure someday the aircraft will receive 9M registration as well as a new livery. Now, does it maintains the water bombing capability? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
