The Breezy looks like an airplane that had a happy encounter with a radio tower. After 45 years, it’s still one of those “Oh-my-gosh” airplanes that inspire awe, giggles and the desire to go flying . . . . all at once! Read more here . . . . http://www.flyingmag.com/aircraft/persp ... rys-breezy

is that a bench seat at the back?
An enclosed cockpit would give it a whole heap more sex appeal.
Imho of course.

They use a similar a/c at Oshkosh that flies from early mornin till the sun sets, doing flips.
Inbetween F18 and more.

Seriously, is this a three-seater?

I dig these "exposed" frames....gives you a real "back to basics" feel about the aircraft. Being used to an open cockpit I think I'd love flying in something like this. Interesting seating...indeed it does look like a 3 seater? I wonder what it's MAUW is then? Surely cant be 450kg? I also wonder about the extra parasitic drag caused by the frame/occupants?

Here is another "exposed" design I really like... the Zlin Bobber.

I hadn't actually noticed the three seats, but looking a little more close-up I think you are right!
Also, look at a close-up of the airframe, engine, propellor and tyres . . . . this is no small aircraft!!
The instruments are BEHIND the pilot in order to keep the view uncluttered!
And how cool is this, the Breezy being used as a sky-diving platform!

The Breezy is a two seater. This specific one was built as a three seater, and has a few other mods, There was an article on this specific plane in Kitplanes a few years ago.

The Savage Bobber looks nice.
Maybe we will see a Bush Baby Explorer Bobber soon?
