Perhaps this was an April Fool's joke that Air & Space Magazine played on
its readers?

I haven't seen the magazine yet, but in my experience George Larson
takes aviation very seriously.

Well -- there was the cover with the dog flying the plane.

And the big feature about the world's ugliest aircraft...

Come to think of it, perhaps it is an April Fool edition. My
contribution is a "Soundings" about the XC-99 cargo plane finding a
new home at Wright-Patt.
