Why should this aircraft be added?
Airplanes tend to have a tubular fuselage, but that’s boring. I propose we add the squarest of the square aircraft. On a serious note, this is quite a niche aircraft, but frequently seen at SXM so its addition would enhance realism. Furthermore, its a very unique aircraft due to its shape and was designed as a utilitarian workhorse. It’s extremely square fuselage also makes it a great small cargo plane hence its prominence in and around the caribbean.
