Whats that in the background?

MD-80? 717??

looking very forlorn

[gerry111]

My guess is DC-9, Jas.

Looks like a bit of a graveyard behind the brand new Caravan.

[Piano Man]

Certainly correct is a DC-9. Easily half a dozen ex Cebu Pacific DC-9s littered around the GA area as well as old 732s, Trislanders, DC-3s and amazingly a Connie! Will get some more photos in the coming weeks.

[jas24zzk]

More pics?
ya gaggin me!!

bring it!

LOL

[By George]

To the right of the Caravan nose is a Yak 40 and a good old Aztec too. Looks like it's almost in Qantas colours. Now there is a seed for a new Qantas rumour.

[AussieNick]

Looks like an Embraer 170 nose?

[BPA]

Nothing like an Embraer 170. The cabin windows are the wrong size/shape and it doesn't have the front service door. It's a YAK.

I think Aussie Nick is looking at the background to the right of the seaplane (Embraer) with the Yak(?) on the left hand side

Nope, that's a DC-9 on the left and yep it's a Yak on the right.

Come on boys and girls, I thought professional pilots could pick their aeroplanes! Back to spotters school!

Anyway, back to the pics!

[mcgrath50]

You're lucky I picked the one front and centre was a float plane!

[Capt Fathom]

I don't see any floatplane! But there's an Amphibian aircraft there!

[Trent 972]

Are you sure about that Capt F?
Float Plane
Look again, it's not that hard to Fathom.

[Capt Fathom]

I'm seeing wheels on them there floats!

Thanks for the link! .... Either type of seaplane may also have landing gear suitable for land, making the vehicle an amphibious aircraft.

I was attempting to educate the young-ins. I should have put a smilie on the end of my post!

PS. I'll go you halves!

[jas24zzk]

crikey Fathom...looks like you opened your BAK book!

Thats an interesting pic. Prototype perhaps? never seen a v-tail bitchcraft twin on the market.....any more info past your piccy ?

[Frank Arouet]

Sorry Buddy, I put them there hoping someone could add more photographic evidence or comment. There was a lot of manufacturers experimenting in those days, (look at the side windows for a year), and I'm guessing it is one such example. The "gun-Bo" seems genuine enough for the African Continent.

There is some more information on that aircraft here.

[Piano Man]

Getting ready for the afternoon departure. Great lighting at this time of day!

[Jamair]

There was one at Oshkosh a few years ago, was called a V-Twin or a Vee-Twin

[Oakape]

It would be interesting to know what Vmca is with the V tail.
