THE AIRCAM

i discovered this marvelous aircraft in the lastest issue of AOPA Pilot magazine. the AirCam is unlike any other flying platform -- a taildragger with fore-and-aft seating for two people, but the primary pilot's seat is so far forward of the wings, and there is so little fuselage (other than a small windshield) surrounding him/her, that the view is virtually 360 degrees. with so much sensory exposure to the air, the experience is compared to riding a motorcycle in the sky -- though with much more safety, since small planes don't have to contend with nearly as much traffic as bikes do. this is a low-and-slow machine, designed as a photography platform, for sightseeing, and the general joy of flight. check it out.
