Sorry, very dark, but the best I could do. If nobody can see to identify it, I'll withdraw it or find another to post.

Not an Otter, not DHC, but your logic is admirable. The designer would have taken your comment as a compliment, I'm sure.

Doesn't look like a Cessna, must be North American because of paint finish; Aviat Husky?

Yes, it is North American, but not a Husky, Harley.

I knew you'd be there, Bri!

Indeed, it is a Noorduyn Norseman Mark VI.. You have control.

Neat and simple. Looks absolutely brand new. Can't see any windscreen framing- is that because of the way the pic is cropped or is there no fixed screen? Is that a bit of Stencel seat I can see? Some form of slippery light weight fighter prototype from the 70s?

Never seen the Cobra in Canadian markings, maybe some Photoshop/GIMP work?

No its not, found these two after a lot of searching




Thought I'd drop them in here to prevent confusion with the next cockpit

Not photoshopped. The YF-17 was a contender in Canada's new fighter purchase. Northrop applied the markings for a demo to Canadian Defense staff.

Thank you evansb,

I'm afraid it was a lucky google based on the 70's fighter clue. Here is the next one, love the suave looking chap in his machine...

I don't think he looks so thrilled, in fact I think he's about to leap over the side...

Seems European in some way. How about the Caudron Typhon racing twin?

Hello Harley,

Not the Caudron Typhon racing twin.

He is almost certainly European, the aircraft is not.
