Sorry, no, not an Eagle 150.

Clues needed I think? My apologies for any vagueness, as it's not a type I'm familiar with being post 1960.

The acronym 'FSW' is one clue, and it has an unusual number of engine(s) for the class of aircraft.

Nope, not one of them either.

Wrong number of engines, and there's something about the wing of our subject aircraft...

And another goal to Ms Cringe!

Hope you've got a pic ready, Cringe?

Whew. Glad that's over.

Not a simulator, although this prospective airliner never truly entered serial production.

Hi cringe
The piston engined Ilyushin Il-18 perhaps?

Sorry turnarounds, not a Cessna.

Hi Mel, nice to see you back.
Not an Ilyushin or piston-engined.

Is it a Yak mock-up eg Yak 46 or 242 ?

Another clue please.

Nope, not a Yak, but there was a Soviet connection. One of the prototypes crashed.
