Nice pic, KBG...surely you have Google?
First hit on oy-ncn puts you back to A.N which announces it to be a Fairchild Dornier 328JET
Google also trawls forums and download sites (Including this one!)
Flight Sim Fairchild Dornier will keep you occupied for hours...

............and its out of production as the company went bust. The 328jet evolved from the 328 turboprop version.

In the FS world theres a payware version under development by Eaglesoft - although it has been under development for a looooooooooonnnnng time.

Charl-Hey thanks for the heads up, i never knew you could do that, kind of obvious when you come to think of it. :rolleyes:

Thanks for checking it anyway!

You learn something new everyday!

Naki-Thanks, i will check out their site, thanks for helping!

I wonder if it has some hydraulics system in the landing gear as it looks very low to the ground?

Yeah, it's a strange looking aircraft.

This is what happens if a manufacturer goes:

"Lets try swapping propellers for engines on one of our planes"

Looks a little odd with the now redundantly long undercarriage. I also wonder how it might look with low-bypass turbofans such as the JT8D... Maybe even some bizjet engines?

Oh screw trying to wrestle that thing around the sky!

Waaaay too close-coupled for my liking :unsure:

Found these freakish creations on my travels though...

It's a good website aye?
