Thanks Ernie! (I think)
So...
1. It was designed to fit a specification issued in the 50's.
2. Did not fly until the 60's.
3. 3 main versions.
4. Only 2 versions were really used .
5. But this aircraft was used by more than a few nations.
6. Twin engined.
7. While several were lost due to accidents, and at least one structural failure, only one was downed by hostile fire. (as far as I can tell)
8. This aircraft is still in "front line" service.
9. Not a U.S. aircraft.
10.It carries the name of something that can be shimmery and lovely, but can also be deadly.
11. One aspect of it's design shares a name with a tootsie roll product! (Chew on that one !)
Ok, That's whatcha get for a start......
Thanks!
