I think you are concentrating on the wrong detail. You are looking at the whole dashboard. |
I thought I knew a lot about military gliders, but I've just discovered the XLRA-1 and the XLRQ-1 amphibious gliders! One of those two?
|
German DFS A-2/B-1...?
|
It is not amphibious but this Glider never came beyond the X designation. 1&1/2 build. |
GAT-XCG-16A......?
OH if correct.... |
XCG-16A it is.
1 built (and a half size scale model) In the Netherlands a Belgian Coach is 12m wide and 3m long because all Belgians want to sit in the front... 42 troops loaded in the sides https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....a6a10d6c94.jpg OH called |
|
Partenavia P68 ? The one with the glass nose? |
Indeed - it's called the Observer.
New balls please. |
https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....a2e5f4fd3.jpeg
Yay! (Re the Observer) but as far as the new balls are concerned try this. Not the best photo, but all I could manage. |
Aeronca C3 maybe.
|
The Aeronca is correct! The “bathtub” All over to you. |
Budd Davisson’s review of the C3 is a must read: Aeronca C-3 Pilot Report His other reviews are very good too. I must re-read them when I have a spare week! |
I found it by making it brighter and looking at the name on the fuel selector at the top.
Nuvver one then: https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....de38168a63.jpg |
Re the Aeronca: I didn’t see the Aeronca symbol under the fuel selector until I had posted the photo. if gone to huge lengths to manoeuvre the camera so that the column obscured the placard with the reg on it! Will read its review. Next pic: haven’t a clue! |
|
An exotic homebuilt twin jet...?
|
Twin jet yes.
Long way from a homebuilt though. Designed for the military and the aim is to sell at below.$US20M per copy. |
Nice to also see more contemporary cockpits. |
I didn't know there were so many modern military twin-jets. I still haven't found it! |
Hi Guys,
Not wishing to spoil the hunt with an Open House as I've been tied up with the medics for a few days and so unavailable, off again today but I have found dooks challenge by putting "military twin-jet to sell at below $20M per copy" into Google, it returns 73,000 hits but right at the top of the first page is a BBC article worth looking at :cool: If the BBC is not accessible in some places, then further down the first page is an article by NextBigFuture Happy hunting and try not to get bitten!! 👍 |
OK, back from the Quack!!
Seeing as this one's still hanging, I'd better toss my hat in the ring and see if I was barking up the wrong tree :hmm: I reckon it's the Textron Scorpion ? |
You be right me 'ansome - Textron Scorpion.
Off ye go. |
Thanks dook! Good old Mr G and searchable clues!!
Try this one, not that old and should be easy :) https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....7c67fc34b7.jpg |
Fully integrated glass cockpit so not that old.
Clearly by the throttles a twin-jet. Business jobber ? Possibly the Williams V-Jet. |
Yes a twin-jet
Born lived and died in the noughties, but later resuscitated and re-launched with a new designation! Pioneer of a new class of business jets. Not the Williams machine, but there was a connection |
Like you said - good old Mr.G.
Just looked up the Williams and: "Williams had not intended to produce the aircraft, but it attracted a lot of attention, and Eclipse Aviation was founded in 1998 to further develop and produce the aircraft. The airframe was significantly redesigned as an all-metal structure sporting a T-tail and the name Eclipse 500". |
Yes, it is indeed the Eclipse 500, well found!
You have control :ok: |
Cheers.
So how about a different cockpit view.... https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....4294f66a3e.png |
Sipa Minijet..../?
|
You're quicker than the Sundance Kid !! :uhoh:
Sipa it is. Your deal. |
Give an arm or a leg for a trip in this.........after the trip
https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....5e48395fcf.jpg |
Interesting that the bang seat handle cover says REAR.
I can also see that the image is on Airliners.net. So is this an expired two-seater with the rear bang seat cover saying FRONT ? |
Well, I've searched appropriately in Airliners - straightforward.
I think the pilots' name is Major Error. I'll be quiet now. |
It's classified. I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you. It’s time to buzz the tower. I would probably have to loose a leg and an arm before I would be able to fit in. |
The cockpit of my first operational aeroplane was half the size of this one.
|
There may be a little guy in front,or it could be to get rid of the GIB...; and maybe vice-versa
SLB, is your leg `loose`,or are your `speed-jeans` not tight enough...? dook,you may have been only half the man you are now........you didn`t have enough fuel to fool around,or even turn around,with those bloody great bonedomes...Now ,don`t spill your coffee down yer shirt...need a definitive name and number... you know the drill,full cold ,head back,watch the shooter.........cold shot ,eject.... |
….then hit him with a Phoenix !!
|
After all the not so subtle Top Gun references is it an F14 Tomcat?
|
o-m-a,,sweep yr wings fwd matey,follow the handler,hook on,brakes -off,take-out your false teeth,headrest,hands-off,salute,shooter..whoosh ..., Tomcat AIRBORNE...all yours....
Point of interest; did `we` ever put covers over the handles....? never saw it meself... |
