Funky plane in SEA

[Bert Harbenson]

Anybody know anything about that weird plane that is parked on the cargo ramp near the departure end of 16L? It kinda looks like a E-170 with folding wings, no tail, and a neon paintjob type contraption.

It's the Port of Seattle's way of blowing money on a trainer for the Fire Dept. No kidding.........Coulda bought a hulk from the desert or used a metal tube like the Port of PDX. Anyway, thats what it it.
