I swear it was

[pudestcon]

I'll swear I saw one of these in the circuit at Jandakot yesterday. I was at home and looked up because the aircraft sound and shape was so unusual to the common aircraft that fly over my house.

 

Any ideas why it was here?

Drug running perhaps ? LOL Although i doubt it. I would used a common type of A/c, like a LearJet, or Gulfstream so you could "BLEND IN". Jokes aside, it remines me of the failed Beechcraft StarShip.Manufactures find it hard to sell a product, that looks futuristic, even though they might be the future?

Gee Pud, the Aliens are after you!

 

Maybe one of the mining companies made an enquiry and it was a demo.

Think you'll find RFDS Western Op's are trialling it.

I hope for their sake they are just trialing it before buying King Airs again. Nice to see people thinking outside the box, but it doesn't strike me as the sort of aircraft that would take kindly to what I understand of RFDS ops. More of a corporate suit type
