Skylane, I will give you a hint. It is in the Northern Hemisphere.

Not a 320.
There are not enough windows and the 320 being turbocharged has the exhaust exiting the cowling straight down ahead of the wing spar, not over the wing as this one does.

I say 310D or 310E.

If it's ex military it's a U3B, known before 1963 as an L27B.

AN3, You are correct it is at McConnell AFB Wichita. Here is another picture of the Stearman building at the same location.

Griffo, It is one of the new Air Nuiguini Q400's. It will be interesting to see what routes thay use them on and how that landing gear survives. Location of picture is Port Moresby.

Someone said its been a bit quiet, so I might as well post something, nothing in particular just a nice photo Mrs Jaba shot as we bounced out of a cloud, sometimes the random ones turn out well



And here F/O Pyro gets his first IFR/IMC flight in the front row.

Yeah if it was grey out the window with driving rain and you were lighting matches under his nose while he tracked an NDB THEN I MIGHT be impressed.

Bouncing from one fair weather cu to the next in the GA equivalent of the Starship Enterprise doesn't quite cut it.

there was ya smart a$$ .........but ask pyro about the other 45 minutes

Chuckles now that is funny!

No driving rain in this trip, just light rain. I will have to get up the photographer for not taking any inside the darker ones which she claimed had her arse leaving the seat a few times.

Trip to Canberra had a much better dose of dark and wet......but I do not seem to have any pics of that on my 'puter.

I am not brave enough for you lot!
