	Mitsubishi MU-2B "Solitaire" utility transport

The MU-2 series of utility transports is one of postwar Japan's most successful commercial aircraft types.  Development began in the late 1950s as a light twin turboprop design suitable for a variety of civil and military roles, and it first flew in 1963.  The MU-2B "Solitaire" is the smaller of the two basic models (the larger MU-2N and P models are called the "Marquise").  Production ceased in 1986.
