Thank you, Mel, nice to see a real airplane on here occasionally.

Next, another challenge, but should not be difficult for the cognoscenti around here:

Canadair 415?

C2j

Sorry, not the 415, nor any other Canadian product.

Is it the IAI Arava?

Planegill: It is indeed the IAI Arava :ok: well done.

A strange but effective configuration which must owe something to the Nord Noratlas operated by the IDF??

The Antipodes has control.

New Challenge
 

Ahrens 404?

C2j

Cub2jets is indeed correct, the Ahrens AR404. (Darn, though it might have lasted a bit longer than that!)
The 4-engined commuter project built by the company that made an art form out of getting Government subsidies to set up an aircraft manufacturing business.

Planegill,

Oddly enough the only thing I remotely recognised in the picture was the yoke! 7 unreadable and seemingly identical instruments in a 4 engine plane is certainly a head scratcher! :hmm:

On to the next challenge. So this doesn't drag into next year :bored: , a couple of clues are in order. This aircraft was in serial production (no obscure one off) and the company is still in business today.

Northrop A17 Nomad. LF loop antenna big enough?

evansb is correct! :ok:

Northrop A-17 Nomad.

Seems that there is less and less participation on this thread, unfortunately. Hopefully it is just a passing phase!

C2j

I hope it is just a brief lull in activity. Here is a modern mystery cockpit:

Nah,not enough levers to pull/push,knobs to twist,instruments to look at,keep the scan active; just a bunch of TVs to watch CNN/FOX on,no ADFs to twiddle,and I hope that`s not a HUD in the middle.....get a real man`s cockpit,where you can smell the leather,oil,hyd,get oil under your fingernails,if you`ve any left after checking under the cowlings.....bunch of Boy Scouts !!:):)

Bri: punt the EJ-135/145 and give 'em what they're looking for - they deserve it!

Sorry, not from South America, nor North America.

The cockpit is rather Spartan though !

Sorry, not the Lockheed Martin Alenia C-27J Spartan. It is a twin-turboprop though.

Hi Bri ! Going out on that limb again with Israel IAI - 1126 Galaxy ??? Keith.

Sorry, not the IAI-1126. Not a pure jet.

Those look like Sextant (Thales) displays. IPTN CN250? and are those other legs attached to a certain Scots Avionics engineer?
