phantomordie Posted June 7, 2009 Report Posted June 7, 2009 Went to a local airshow today and it was just the usual fare of personal A/C. Nothing really impressive until this Beech AT-11 landed in Netherlands scheme. I've never seen one but it was like a miniature bomber, with a nose and top turrent, based on the old twin engine Beechcaft that I,ve flown in a few times.

VonL Posted June 13, 2009 Report Posted June 13, 2009 That would be way cool - will stuff them into the box for reference material, when that one floats to the top of the stash.
snelson Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 Here are a couple of AT-11 cockpit shots I found on the interweb..can't vouch for how "stock" the configuration is. And here are some detail shots I took of the AT-11 at the U.S. Air Force Museum. First up, the bombay... And here's the belly. I believe the circular opening is a strike camera port, and the aft opening is for reeling out a sleeve target. Enjoy! Steve Nelson IPMS#30925
