• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

What aircraft is this?

I would say Short 330 as well (pretty sure of it).
 
Too boxy for an Arava, tailplane is not carried on booms, ruling out the Arava.

I vote for a Vertically Challenged 330... ;)
 
I would also say SHERPA...

...the plane flew deep at this location, perhaps tank stop?

When we have the range of the sherpa (for sure unloaded) we can
encircle its area of operation. When it was a military used aircraft
we can perhaps locate also his origin.

At what airfield did you saw it?

Greetings
 
I think Felix forgot to add his smiley :D.

I see it when I am flying at Salem (Oregon). The National Guard flys it around the valley all the time. That particular day they were doing touch-and-goes with it.
 
How I can read,

there are only six Sherpas left in US Military Services inventory.

They will be replaced completely by 2010. So this is a rare aircraft anyway and

I guess they will be only used in special forces missions. They can lift two

land rovers or similar ground vehicles so instant touch an go flying could be

preparation for quick insertion of vehicles in defended enemy regions.

For regular logistical support this aircraft is far too small to deliver high amounts

of supplies daily needed in a raging conflict.
