Glad they got out, just all that time they spent putting the aircraft together from 2 separate airframes, now gone!

Re: Finnish Frankenplane crashed!
It was made from a C-model hull that suffered a midair collision and used Canadian B-model's frontal section. In that collision the aircraft suffered heavy damage into frontal section but manage to get back, the other one crashed into a swamp.james84 wrote:Why "Frankenplane"?

Just read in Jane's that it took 100,000 man hours and cost USD21m to build.
Should've gone to Specsavers
