A Killer Bonanza

Hmm, what's all the fuss? All this stuff was factory optional on mine.

Look under Specifications: Armament.

The guys who imported some of them from Africa had to take
the pylons off to make them CAA legal. The Swedes converted
a squadron into tankbusters.

we had something like that here in croatia during the war. you take a C188,
stick a soviet bombsight in it and mount a couple of bombs and rocket
projectiles to the wings...also a popular coversion, on a similar principle,
was the AT-403 (the radial-engined one) and strap a few home-made cluster
bombs to it. Also, you could find an UTVA-75, a yugoslav-made two seat
trainer with four, hand-held anti-tank launchers under the wings, strapped
by duct tape and fired from the cockpit by pulling a string or something
similar. also the copilot could drop grenades by hand from the cockpit (they
used to do that with 172s for a short while). I have a picture of it if
anyone's interested...

Some lesser ISPs don't carry the binary groups. The aviation binary group
is VERY active, with dozens (sometimes hundreds) of new aircraft pictures
posted daily.

Bitch at your ISP.

okay go to "flying_cessnas.tripod.com". it'll open automatically, since it's
a blank site. I'll try to find some more of them.

also they made, though not a "complete military conversion", an An-2 into a
bomber. the plane took aboard a couple of bombs, "boiler bombs" as they were
called. each of these was a old gas cylinder filled half with explosive,
half with metal debris, even forks and knives, anything that could act as
shrapnel. They they would stick some plastic or metal winglets and two
handles, since the crew had to take the bomb and throw it manually out of
the plane when they were near the target...
