Dizzy 0 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Gulfstream I then. That tail is confusing the crap out of me. I know those engines in my sleep, so this is the last aircraft I can think of with that wing/engine combo. Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Niether of those aircraft guys, what I WILL tell you is that attachment on the tail is a common sight on prototype aircraft and serves an important purpose. Link to post Share on other sites
