Sorry.

Mock-up shots.

Two prototypes built (Wiki) but the front framing was slightly different.

This will clinch it...

I think the mock-up guys were smoking pot when making the middle shot, but the throttle count is correct...

(...and top photo at right...look at the large engine nacelle....)

Well I'm sure the answer to this must be obvious, but I'm missing it completely. 4 jets, 2 per "pod" I presume...so similar era to the B-45/XB-46? Covered all the B- and XB- sequence and can't see anything there:ugh:

I'm underwhelmed by the response. Powered by a Lycoming O-320. Early versions crashed during spin training, resulting in a mod.

Is it a Thurston Teal?

evansb 20th Mar 2011 23:24

Sorry, not a Thurston Teal.

How about the Aerotec T-23A Uirapuru ??

evansb 21st Mar 2011 04:36

sincoTC is spot on:ok: The cockpit of a former Brazilian Air Force T-23A Uirapuru (Wren) was pictured. Your turn.

American......?

SincoTC 21st Mar 2011 22:22

Not American!

This was the only photo I could find that didn't show a very obvious feature that would be a certain giveaway!

SincoTC 22nd Mar 2011 06:22

The "feature" I mention, gives this civil aircraft's cockpit a rather military look!

I think the penny dropped. Tupolev Tu-104...?

Is the "feature" the navigator's position?

Indeed it is Graeme! The Tupolev Tu-104

Noyade has control :ok:

Noyade 22nd Mar 2011 07:14
