You'd have to make sure that your hat was tied down. That would be a bit breezy in flight.

And lots of rudder input to offset the assymetrical drag! Saeed, let me know if Walter needs someone to fly it jorge

Apparently it's being promoted as a "viewing platform" for "A-list animal lovers".

I wonder what would happen if someone said they were interested in it for hunting safaris and is there a gun turret option...

I know a lot of folks have ethical problems about shooting from the truck, so I guess shooting from the observation deck would be a no-no?

If I ever saw one of those monstrosities while on safari I would fire one warning shot over the fuselage and run them off at gunpoint!!!

Amusing til some lions eat the tires and it becomes a $30m dumpster stuck in a sandbox. Besides! Where's the hot tub and BBQ ...??

Somebody obviously has both too much money and too much time on their hands.

That's the least practical design I've ever seen in aviation. Bloody flying motor home.

Two words: Explosive decompression.

Brilliant ! And if money ever gets tight it would make a damn fine flying taco wagon.

Viewing platform for a list animal lovers? i see through the pr crap and see a shooting platform for a list hunters

I like the feature of the BBQ'd observers done medium rare by the engine exhaust.

Looks like a Loliondo special to me!

Yeah, particularly if he gets a hot start...

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.........would be great....till it actually flies in africa, sucks in a gutful of dust,breaks and never moves again...........then it will be a permanent viewing platform at some out of the way bush strip

tell you what , looks remarkably like the BAE146, of which Air Zim has one sitting on the deck in Harare. mmmmmmmm might be onto a way to make a couple million quid????

Oh, I don't know; it does look sort of neat. Saeed when you take delivery I will be happy to fly with you
