Identify this BEAST
IF you can...
It's real, it was produced in limited quantities for the USAF. It is currently the only one registered and flying in the world.
It was configured to do duty as an air ambulance if need be.
When my buddy that owns it, gets the rear mag straightened out, I'll get to fly it.

"He who warned, uh, the British that they weren't gonna be takin' away our arms, uh, by ringing those bells, and um, makin' sure as he's riding his horse through town to send those warning shots and bells that we were going to be sure and we were going to be free, and we were going to be armed."
