Steve's Video Of The Day: "Sky-Truck"

If you have a lot of supplies and gear to haul, you use a pick-up truck. No roads where you are going? Then you need a PZL M-28 Skytruck! This aircraft will also be certified on floats, and is a "Westernized" version of an Antonov AN-28. Pretty cool airplane, built like a deHavilland, and "single-engine take-off" capability! Those amazing Russian aircraft designers, I tell you!
