Evening David.

Aircraft is directly overhead and we're looking at the underside of the tail and exhaust?

[Lightning Mate]

Correct on all counts mate.

[Noyade]

Maybe it's the cropping, but the tail looks very big and the exhaust rather small?

American mate?

[Lightning Mate]

A Yank it is......

[Noyade]

Fighter?......

[Lightning Mate]

Nah mate - flight test aeroplane.

[Noyade]

flight test aeroplane

Ah. With a cockpit/pilot?

[Lightning Mate]

Oh yes - certainly manned.

Only one ever made.

Guess the zero to sixty...................................

edit: twin-engined........and they are tiny............

[Lightning Mate]

It's getting late here mate (well, for me anyway).

You have been deserted on SC, so here's something else to ponder.

Zero to sixty ain't anything to do with speed...............(angles).....

Stay away from sons' place of work!!!!!!!!

It's getting late here mate (well, for me anyway).

Goodnight mate. Thanks for the clues.

Got some serious pondering to do. Jet exhaust, four-prop airliner on SC and Mel's elusive floatplane an WA.

Time to sit on the dunny.

[Noyade]

Very clever mate.

Good evening mate - hope you had a good Sunday with no 'orrible burgers!

I thought that would be an interesting one to post, which is why I thought fairly early clues were in order.

You have control.

[Noyade]

Thanks mate.

Here's the next one...

[Lightning Mate]

Pusher I assume.......

[Noyade]

Yep........

[Lightning Mate]

Piaggio....?

[Noyade]

Not Piaggio.

[Lightning Mate]

Realised that soon after I posted.

I jumped at a PT6a engine, but looking more closely it could be a piston.

[Noyade]

I jumped at a PT6a engine

Good jump. That's the engine - turboprop.

[Lightning Mate]

AVTEK 400 ?

Maybe Jetcruzer 500.
