Silhouette challenge
It's quiet, so back to the Hunter airbrake and something you all might not know.
Manually half-open the brake on the ground.
Carefully place on the inner surface 20-30 rolls of government issue bogroll (pilots not for the use of..)
Manually close airbrake and remember not to open until necessary.
400 knot pass at 2-300 feet - select airbrake out................
....and a certain moderator on Jet Blast will know about that too....

Zaunkonig - ultra STOL lightplane ( from Brunswick University ?? ) - there was one on the UK register G-ALUA - someone quite famous was killed demonstrating one (in Germany in the 50's?? ) Previous poster got it near enough for me - his turn for a challenge !

This one mate?
"The Gulfstream Peregrine has its roots in the American Jet Industries Hustler 500 (fuselage) with the same Allen E. Paulson behind it, and the Gulfstream Peregrine military trainer (wing, tail and engine integration). The fact that the military trainer and the business jet have the same name is the source of some historical confusion. The GulfStream trainer crashed on November 23, 1983 after 242 flight hours. The Gulfstream Peregrine business jet made its first flight on 14 January 1983. Production go-ahead was given by Gulfstream's board in February 1984 with anticipated deliveries starting in 1987. The program was later cancelled for lack of orders (a few dozen)."

I must be very dumb today!
I can't tie in the cockpit with the challenge at all. Look at the transparencies and position in relation to the wing root leading edge.

Actually you are right! Look at the wing tip strakes. On the silhoueete they go up. On the artist's impression they go down!!! I'm still convinced it is the same machine though. Maybe a development of it? RR

It is the Peregrine Trainer, to be fair, and for the sake of RR's sanity, the three view is the design as first published, when launched. When it flew, as you have seen, it had changed slightly.
Over to......errr ......RR......I think
edit.... I mean Graeme. I am confused because 'Gulfstream Peregrine' which is correct, appears on the list of previous challenges, but checking the image, isn't it the Peregrine 600 we had before?

I think Graeme (Noyade) deserves credit. After all I only looked at the Peregrine after he mentioned it. RR

Sorted it now. The Trainer was the 600 and the bizjet is called the 550. I should have held out for the designation but Graeme did say Gulfstream Peregrine, which was the name I had.
