Just having some Light fun with this
When it comes to the pipe dream of arming light aircraft, you cannot imagine how disappointing it was to have F-5s show up for close air support! Our normal friends were F-100s and B-57s. Of course an AC-47 at night was always a crowd pleaser.

Well, there is something off about it ... to me it almost seems like two different planes glued together - there is no flow to that shape
I will tell you that your Zenith ( in your signature ) actually looks better to me ( and frankly, as far as LSAs go low wing Zeniths are pretty good looking planes )
Of couse, by typical GA standards (Cessnas etc ) , this plane still looks like a beauty

We had a couple of T-34s just out of the Air Force inventory that were given to the Vandenberg AFB aero club in the mid-sixties that I loved to fly, and the Stream reminds me of them (albeit with a more organic look thanks to the composite construction). The Stream would likely be nearly as much fun, but with a much lower ticket price.
This one was in the Moffett Field aero club.
