You are correct, castlebravo; it is something a bit less obvious. But here's another clue to reward the attempt. Thanks; Ernie P.


Question: What warbird do I describe?

Clues:
  1. Yet another example of a civilian aircraft pressed into military service.
  2. First produced in the mid 1960’s.
  3. A derivative aircraft is still in production.
  4. The derivative is essentially the same aircraft, upgraded with a more powerful engine, and a few mods to expand the flight envelope.
