Nope. Truly well designed and thought out. Maintenance loved the aircraft for it's reliablity.

It was the first "true" swept wing turbo-jet aircraft and may have been the best of all. If fuel issues hadn't shortened it's shelf life, you would still see them flying today.

Twin Wasp, you're right on ! "30,30 Green light" Now, just roll it on !!
