Kind of what I always thought of the "Tweety Bird"....

"Hey Mom! Guess what!? I'm finally flying JETS!!!"
"Really son?!! Congratulations! Which jet do you fly?..."

"um... the T37"

"Hmm... T37? What's that? Doesn't it have a name like the Tomcat or
Falcon?"

"Well... yes, I guess it does..."

the conversation and the pilots pride just go down hill from there.

Sure, Its official name was the "Dragonfly".

I always liked the moniker "Converter" for the T37

T37, the most efficient conversion of kerosene to decibels.

Yep, here are more

I was thinking of a model made by Percival Aircraft, the EP-9, used as an
air ambulance, and ag plane, among a few of the uses. It did have clamshell
doors, and a double deck.

It only has a Lycoming 480, worth 270 HP, though. There has been one at OSH
for several years. I don't remember if he made it there, this past year.

Odd looking, bright yellow, and if you saw it, you probably would go over
and take a closer look at it. g

Here is a picture of it:

Have you ever noticed, the British either make beautiful
airplanes like the Spitfire or Mosquito or the ugliest
airplanes with bug eyes, pot-bellies and such.

Years back, I remember a scratchbuilt r/c version of the plane.

It's so ugly, it's cute. G

I guess flying the "Extender" might feel extra manly! G

Good job Jim.

chuckle Yep.

It really is perfectly designed for what it does. Great access for
stretchers to go in.

One account said there were flights made in New Zealand, with the back doors
left off, and bundles of fence posts loaded in. Fly over the remote
pastures, kick out a bundle, like a bombing run.

Works for me! g
