AIRLINERS.NET CREW PHOTO SCREENER
The original thread is looking about ready to pop, so lets start a new one... We should make a competition out of this - the official A.net database scavenger hunt .
Here are some more that I've found - some odd more than others:

I was just about to look for that one. As a production airplane it certainly deserves some award. It is so rare to find an airplane without a single attractive aspect. That thing is ugly from every angle.

I wonder if the loss of one of the windscreens (birdstrike, for example) would result in a drastic loss of lift. They seem to make up the upper surface of the lifting surface...
I can see why there weren't many copies of this one sold...looks like it would be difficult to land on that tripod, and getting in or out of it could not have been easy...

Accessories aside I've always though the Skyvan had a certain appeal. "Form follows function" sort of thing. Special Forces got to evaluate the Skyvan back in the 60s but I didn't get the chance to fly it. I'd love to see a photo from one story I yeard about it.
I was told that some guy was hauling telephone poles out to a jobsite with a Skyvan. Apparently they were quite a bit longer than the cargo deck so they hung out well past the ramp. They were chained down big end forward to keep the CG somewhere forward of the elevator hinge.
Must have been quite a sight.
