Fun #61 Italian, Mercedes-based Flight Trainer
« on: November 01, 2011, 03:53:42 AM »
Cars with wings were more prolific than I might have guessed. I don't know much about this one, other than its (apparent) base, its intended purpose, and the country where the modifications were done.  

For 1 point, identify just that - its (apparent) base, its intended purpose, and the country where the modifications were done.  

Be sure to answer all parts of the question, if you'd like the point. Only complete answers will earn a point[/b]

I remember I saw this one in a Popular Magazine...it was a simulator vehicle for new pilots.

I need to narrow down the field...was this magazine a scientific one or about mechanicals?
BTW: Pirelli wheels...was it modified in Italy?

OK, you can unlock then...only the base is missing...was it an Italian brand known also for trucks, like SPA?

I can go only by the wheel covers (which I've doctored in the picture). Not an Italian brand.

General, and and still in business. Not a UK company.

And, remember, I'm going only by the wheel covers.

That's why my searches with "simulator" or "pilots" were unsuccessful!
