Re: 360 Degrees of Aviation
A light jet aircraft that is also being used extensively by an aerobatic team as well as a normal trainer for pilots for air forces around the world?
The French have their answer for that too in the form of the jointly built by Dassault/Dornier Alpha Jet.
Wait, I see a pattern appearing here.... Hrrmmm, not a clue.

Lockheed P-38 Lightning
The body of the previous aircraft is so similar to the P-38 it's not funny.
(YIPPEE!)

Re: 360 Degrees of Aviation
The most famous example you'll get for the above question is the Bell P-39 Airacobra. It also uses the tricycle landing gear configuration like the Lightning (2 on the wings, 1 on the nose), which was unusual for it's time. A configuration that will only see widespread use during the arrival of the jet engine.

Re: 360 Degrees of Aviation
An aircraft that also had 2 engines, but utilised a push-pull system instead of pure pusher props was the Dornier Do 335.
