Evening David.

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

Lightning Mate 25th Feb 2012 20:04

Correct on all counts mate. :)

Noyade 25th Feb 2012 20:17

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

American mate?

Lightning Mate 25th Feb 2012 20:25

A Yank it is......

Noyade 25th Feb 2012 20:35

Fighter?......

Lightning Mate 25th Feb 2012 20:38

Nah mate - flight test aeroplane.

Noyade 25th Feb 2012 20:42


flight test aeroplane
Ah. With a cockpit/pilot?

Lightning Mate 25th Feb 2012 20:45

Oh yes - certainly manned.

Only one ever made.

Guess the zero to sixty...................................;)

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

Lightning Mate 25th Feb 2012 21:08

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).....:ok:

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

It's getting late here mate (well, for me anyway).
Goodnight mate. :ok: 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 25th Feb 2012 22:26

Very clever mate. :D

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. :ok::ok:

Noyade 26th Feb 2012 08:32

Thanks mate. :)

Here's the next one...

Pusher I assume.......

Noyade 26th Feb 2012 08:36

Yep........

Lightning Mate 26th Feb 2012 08:38

Piaggio....?

Noyade 26th Feb 2012 08:40

Not Piaggio.

Lightning Mate 26th Feb 2012 08:43

Realised that soon after I posted.

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

Noyade 26th Feb 2012 08:46


I jumped at a PT6a engine
Good jump. That's the engine - turboprop.

Lightning Mate 26th Feb 2012 08:49

AVTEK 400 ?

Maybe Jetcruzer 500.
