Rejoicing in the catchy name of... AHRLAC. That's "Advanced High-Performance Reconnaissance Light Aircraft". It looks like the love child of a Streak Shadow and a Skymaster, but with good reason:

First of all, the twin-boom, shoulder-wing, pusher-prop layout means that the wing and engine are no longer between the crew and the ground operations which the aircraft is intended to support -- the view is helicopter-like. Second, the configuration allows for a fuselage-mounted medium-caliber gun and a large payload bay, close to the center of gravity, which Paramount has designed to accept interchangeable pallets.

My friend and I applied for airline jobs in Australia, but they didn't Qantas.

I'm pretty certain my son designed that, including the paint job, on Minecraft last night {crazy}
A million great ideas...

Looks a bit like a Bronco.
Einstein said two things were infinite; the universe, and stupidity. He wasn't sure about the first, but he was certain about the second.

It'll have a hard time competing with the SuperTuc.
