 How much fun you ask? Check out the Accelerometer on the dash!  Cheesy grin from yours truly!  That's a fairly substantial aircraft! |

Great photos there. Where is that Provost based?
I recall making a kit of one of these in the early-80s in an RAF trainer scheme of some sort. I'm still amazed to think that the Jet Provost/Strikemaster family evolved through this design.

The markings on that Provost are Omani aren't they?

One can see a distinct relationship between the Provost and the original Jet Provost designs from certain angles:   Pictures from Jet Provost Heaven www.jetprovostheaven.com/index2.html |

Correct-it's in Omani Airforce colours. It lives with The Old Stick and Rudder Company in Masterton. Fantastic aeroplane to fly, really crisp controls. The CT4 has a similar feel to it.
I highly recommend it!

Great photos. It was nice to see the one at Omaka this year, I'd not seen one in the flesh before. There are two flying in NZ now aren't there?
