About ten years ago I saw a currently manufactured cargo biplane, or perhaps about a 10-seater passenger plane that was not used for passengers?? I think I was told that it was of Polish manufacture, that it was not US-certified to carry passengers, maybe not certified to carry freight for hire either. I think the reason pertained to the OEM parts not meeting current US standards. Unfortunately, I cannot remember how many engines/propellers. I remember my pilot-friend telling me its cost, he estimated, would be about $350K while a US-certified version would be about $1.5 million. I would recognize the aircraft were I to see photographs. It remains in memory because I was surprised that a biplane would still be manufactured for commercial use. It's so simple to be wise. Just think of something stupid to say and then don't say it.

John: I looks a great deal like it. Of course, color scheme is different. Possibly the door was positioned either farther to the rear, larger/wider. Please tell me about what I'm looking at in as much detail as you care to use. Tail dragger -- yes. metal struts (right term??) maintaining wings - yes. single door - yes. fixed wheels - yes. Beyond these details I becoming hazy. I saw the aircraft in either Port Townsend or Port Angeles, Washington's, private/small airport; I'm betting on Port Townsend. There was also an exotic propeller-driven single-wing aerobatic plane so notwworthy that my friend drew it to my attention. It's so simple to be wise. Just think of something stupid to say and then don't say it. Sam Levinson | |||
