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 :)

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....

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

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.

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...
