A conversion by Arthur Stifel of Aeromar at Miami of a McKinnon Super Widgeon by installing Lycoming GO-480-B1D engines with reversing propellers. Neither turboprop nor turbocharged despite the name. Stifel set a now retired speed record in this aircraft in 1982. It also appeared in the British movie Firepower (1979).
