This plane was not much bigger than an MU-2. It had fairly large turbofan engines that looked almost too big to fit under the wing. It was at Atlantic so I could see its perspective against other planes there. Or maybe I was just daydreaming.

Small, high wing twin turbofan. Hmmm. Can't be too many that fit that description.

Everything I can find is larger than an MU2 by quite a bit.

Is is still quite a bit larger than an MU2 (wingspan 69 ft, takeoff weight 52,000 lbs).
