Never seen one of those before! Looks like an Aerostar with the engines on backwards..

[Siddley Hawker]

Nice looking airplane. Where's it built, in Italy?

Those wheels should throw up enough gravel to hit the props to keep the prop shops busy

Propellers are right behind the main wheels. What a splendid idea!

2R, you've beaten me!

Had a look at the brochure. There is some kind of rigging behind the wheel that in theory would stop debris coming back and up from the wheel into the props. It's permanently there, like some kind of horizontal mud flap about 6 inches long. Looks like its pretty cozy side by side in the cabin. Flaperons like a Challenger ultralight.

300 HP 10-540s. Shite for a single engine ceiling. 3800 feet. Great STOL performance claimed.

It seems God has personally endorsed this machine. Company looks to have waaaay to much involvement of religious crackers.

Some cracker quote on the first page of the website. That's always a deal breaker for me.

Though sin separates people from God, Jesus Christ paid the penalty by His death on the cross. Anyone may receive forgiveness by acknowledging Jesus as their Savior - and thereby begin a growing, never-ending friendship with God. For a more detailed explanation of God's loving plan of salvation, please visit www.greatcom.org/laws/. Angel Aircraft Corporation will gladly talk to you about this — give us a call, send email, or just drop in and visit sometime (see Contacts).

Maybe this is Conrad Black's next aircraft.

Some Caravans have gravel guards on the mains and nose gear .Check the leading edge on some Vans to see just how high gravel can get thrown.And just how much gravel gets past guards.
The Angel may work on some of the mud roads that are used in Africa.Northern operations may be limited to ice runways.
The lack of prop ground clearance on rotation may be cause for celebration for the owners of a prop shop.
The closet thing to a perfect bush plane usually has Dehavilland written somewhere on it

Damn! That'll take Denver out of the route system for sure.

[Meatservo]

But not heaven, apparently.

It looks like it was designed to get the Pilot and Pax praying
