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.

Un-guided rockets? Like a blind man with a shotgun on a quail hunt

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and fortunately not everyone has the same taste in aesthetics.

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.
