JDog Posted November 10, 2021 Report Share Posted November 10, 2021 I've seen a lot of activity with these planes of late. Twin props and twin tails. Any idea what it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerCat Posted November 10, 2021 Report Share Posted November 10, 2021 They are American and the rotors swing about so can take off like a chopper. Quite interesting really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we're at our woodland, planes regularly pass as they do the mach loop . It's impressive when they fly overhead , but even more impressive when they fly below us , and they're close enough (within 200ft) to see down into the cockpit . My Mrs waves like a lunatic as they scream past , and we've seen pilots spot her waving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you go inside it is like two large transit vans joined together lengthwise, very basic and quite utilitarian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
