the glorius PL-12 airtruk. idk why i like it so much but it just doesnt look like it shouldnt fly, and i think thats kinda neat. all agricultural planes look a little funny but this guy takes it to the next level
this aircraft got a mention in an Alexander the Ok video on a soviet jet crop duster. It was nice to see this pop up because I enjoy the channel and its nice to see a fuckass plane get some recognition
my poor remembering of either that video or maybe the wikipedia page is that its shaped like that because cropdusting is harsh on metals. The elevator is out of the way of the chemical mist, and the second lower wing is mostly to bring out the eqiptment to spray stuff
that image to the right is a military conversion of the plane designed for actual bombing etc. also medivac so thats better. it doesnt sound like it actually was used in that role.
