Designed for delivering cargos where the Busnoughts -- and everyone else, for that matter -- don't run. It's fast, it has decent range, it handles reasonably well for its size (useful for getting into and out of unprepared airstrips), it doesn't need pavement to land, and can be operated by a single crewman thanks to the borderline-mil-spec electronic-aid package. It costs as much as a decent semi rig, but makes up for it with its speed and ability ignore road hazards.
