Read my "signature" down below. Never give up guys. Keep on trying despite failure. I am a living example of it.  |

| Re: HIRED!!! Congrats and good luck! difete, I was looking at the pictures on your website. Are those Be90s ex-military U21s?? I've never seen a 90 with a cockpit "skylight" and a crew door. Also, what is the device mounted on the nose, ahead of the windscreen? |

   | Re: HIRED!!! I can answer this for difete- I used to work for the same company... Yes, those are the old U-21s! Dynamic Aviation (www.dynamicaviation.com) bought the whole lot of them (120+ and a warehouse of parts) from the US Gov't for about $3 million back in the mid-90's. Since then they've gone through the arduous process of converting them to civilian use. They use them for sterile insect release, as seen in Diego's website. They've got a "Cargo King" STC that puts in a crew door, wide cargo door in back, and a load-bearing bulkhead behind the crew seats. They lease a handful to the BLM for firespotting and support as well as equipping them with camera pods for terrain mapping (like for those in-car GPS units). The device on the nose is a lightbar used for precise tracking. On the other side, facing the pilots, is series of lights- red and green in the middle used kind of like an OBS. They're tied into the dual GPS system- I can't quite remember exactly, but the inner lights show 3 foot deviation to 30 feet on the outer lights. ...too much info? Sorry I got a little carried away! I have some pictures of the BE18s on my website www.flyaway1.homestead.com |

| Re: HIRED!!! That's pretty cool. Thanks for the info. I see they took the "backup" mirrors off the side too. |
