And I thought the Honda Jet was the first one to do it.

I don't understand are you saying that this plane had a multiple engine failure? You do realize that it has 2 engines right...they just sit above the wings. Look at more pictures of this plane from different angles.

No I think he was just saying that the picture looks funny from that particular angle, hence the Honda Jet comment...

If it is wierd, it is French. If it is ugly, it is British. If it is wierd and ugly, it is German.

One-piece flaps, stol-like performance, unprepared strips, low loading floor (no ground equipment needed) = great bush plane.

More or less the same as an F-28 just without the T-tail.

The VFW 614 is west german, I believe it had the RRM45H one of the first geared/variable fans.
