Dear Santa Claus,

Please give CAP some of these awesome South African aircraft for Christmas. We promise to be good.

Major Lord
"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."

Will that complete your order sir?

-Yes, that will do it.

OK Sir, please pull up to the window

-You know, on second thought, can I get that in camo with a side of rocket pods too?


It like a cute little OV10 Bronco!

Bronco on steroids, with just one engine.

from the WSJ: Aerosud and Paramount executives decline to reveal the Ahrlac's price but say it will be one-third to one-half the cost of Boeing Co.'s Apache attack helicopter. The Apache sells for about $20 million, according to the U.S. Congressional Budget Office.

Outch.  Maybe not ;)

Kinda looks like an Apache cockpit with the Skymaster wing, rear engine, and tail boom.

Huey Driver

Looks similar to a Cessna 337 Mixmaster. Also know as the AF's O-2 from the late '60s to '80s, which worked along with the Bronco.

Well, looks like peter rabbit beat me to me by 3 min.
With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right...

Funny, before I looked at the specs, I thought it was a light sport!

CAP'll get a turboprop right after I see this go by out my window:


But it's nice to think about.
Believe in fate, but lean forward where fate can see you.

Got a couple hundred of those in the picture. I'll make it happen. You just have to follow through on the whole turboprop promise.

Dear Santa ...

I'll be happy with ... a stick. To burn for heat. ;)
