Okay, it's not a "T" but this thread just reminded me of it so I had to post. It's owned by a group of Austrian skydivers who fly it to dropzones all over Europe. Nice, fun people. They'll let you jump or tandem jump for pretty cheap.
Great question!
That second photo shows 4 engines on what looks like a 30-40 passenger aircraft.
It reminds me more of a Dornier 328 regional jet. And that four-engined patroller really does remind me of a CV-880 as well.

The portion of the artwork covering the nose on that Shorts gives me the willies.
Jump out of a perfectly good airplane? I don’t even jump out of bed.
A Lexus with wings would look more advanced than either of these birds.
They could cram at least two more engines onto the second plane.
This from Japan? Shocking!
You don’t understand. The bands of both aircraft are stainless steel. Someone just forgot to peel off the protective plastic covers.
Both planes look pretty much the same in size. Why does one use two engines and the other four? The one with four seems to be a fuel waster even if the engines are super fuel efficient.
Unless the C-X is Tiny, no way are those the same engines as on th P-X.
I cannot see how these two planes could share the same engine (Again, unless the C-X is tiny).
Not certain whether this counts
