That IS a drawing of a C-140. A failure as a corporate jet because the 4 rear engines gulped the fuel. Got the taxpayers to buy some so the generals could travel in comfort, and a few were modified for actual working duties.

Built at the Lockheed plant in Georgia in a small building off to the side of the main assembly building.

I call your bluff. No way someone could parachute out of that 10 passenger jet without hitting the wing or the engines.
