Mystery Plane
Hi all,
I was on a recently flying (as a passenger) on a flight frou Houston IAH to SFO. When taxiing out for departure, my eyes were drawn to an unusual plane. I want to find out what it was. It was unmarked, but seemed to be a cargo plane by the boxy fuselage, and by the location where it pulled up on the tarmac. (Cargo terminal) It had: A turboprop engine on each wing, graced by five-bladed propellers. Fixed tricycle gear, the main gear having cowls that attatched to the wing struts. A shoulder (high) wing arrangement. A conventional tail section. It looked big enough to haul roughly 20-30 people, but sported no fuselage windows. It's "back" was sort of humped up. Viewed directly from behind, the fuselage was a very fat 90*-angular "box". Stick-straight wings, like a DH-8, only not so long and skinny. Had never seen anything like it before, so my curiosity is killing me. |
