Aerostyle Aviation APA-36

So, I have posted some pictures I took from the CA-36 to imager, but I cannot get the link to work. If you guys have an imager, you can go there and (I believe) look up this:

This is a variant of the CA-36 aircraft. The APA-36 (Aerial Photography Aircraft) is meant to take pictures of natural phenomena (like the Northern Lights) from the air, meaning that it can get closer to the actual event. Whether flying through mountain passes or soaring through the clouds, the APA-36 is always producing quality photographs. Called "Tiger 1", this is the only APA-36 to ever be created. It features 7 external view cameras scattered around the aircraft (in the nose, under the tail section, in the side of the fuselage, and four in a hub on the top of the fuselage). It can carry nine passengers (mostly photographers, but scientists are allowed to conduct aerial research). It houses a crew of four (pilot, co-pilot, navigator, and another crew member to check on the equipment and passengers). The ailerons have been enlarged to provide better roll capabilities to the aircraft.

I might post a link to an imgur page with photographs taken from this (and the CA-36) aircraft later.
