Jamair,

I'm guessing a kingair of some description. Far as I know garrets don't run that hot in the cruise so must be a Pratt hence a kingair. How'd I go?

D:}

I reckon there's a good chance they are PT-6s, and at 1700 cruise RPM one of the smaller series.
Conquest 441 has 331, these are free turbine engines. Could be a C425 though. My money is on a cheyenne or Beech ...

Jamair, you're more than a mile off track there mate, ;). Hope you let ATC know about it, :}.

I'm guessing the photo was taken in a Cheyenne.

morno

Ops is slapping his thighs with laughter at the bagging poor old Jamair is copping!

Clue: Yes they are PT-6s. No it is not a Kingair (of any description).

ULTRALIGHTS

I think you have a ROOOOOTED Oil temp gauge mate. No way the CHT and pressure in that plane are where they are with oil ready to cook your fish and chips:}

Jeez Jamair how far over barbers pole were you going to get that 'ol Cheyenne out to that ground speed!!

Cheyenne III it is; the trick with the Ground Speed is in the sector - FREDD to ROM (BRG 070), in winter, at night: HUGE westerlies, 100+ kts. Check the ETE vs the Dist - 64 NM in 10 min is pretty good for anything with props....:) Best ground speed I saw in it was on descent from FL250 into OK; 412KT on the GPS :eek:

The track-holding of the AP was on par with the ALT holding though......:yuk:

T-Tail Piper Lawn Dart....Bwahahahahaha:D :D :D

Was known as the Piper Death Pencil too.....but I still liked em. Plenty of herbs, great climb, heaps of fuel, reasonably comfy, slick handling....just can't do it all at the same time like a KA;) Would have liked a shot at the 400LS.....lots of records set in that puppy :}

Chuckles mate

From the answers and "interpretations" ascribed to good 'ol Jamairs pics, one can only wring ones hands with despair. :ugh: :ugh: :{

Still given the type was being built when most of them were still at kindy, why would we be surprised.:(

Jamair me old a 400LS was just a jumped up Conquest. If I recall the numbers correctly I could beat one Perth to Sydney in a Conquest every time. :E

"Plenty of herbs, great climb, heaps of fuel, reasonably comfy, slick handling....just can't do it all at the same time like a KA"

Turn it up Jamair. Like chalk and cheese.;)

Harry, I just call em as I see em......... I liked the PA42, those points were how I saw it. I also like the KA....they're different beasts is all. I guess the ultimate test is....you can still buy a new KA:)

Here's the whole thing including my ugly self......:eek:

Gaunty ol mate; you bin hidin? Conquest was a jumped-up Cheyenne doncha mean;) (nah, yer right of course - the 441 started deliveries in '76, the PA42-1000 started deliveries in '84:) )

Damn!!!!!!....... you are an ugly bugga!!!!!. you a vet?. crashed and burned a plane once?. :} :eek:

oh my god, the man has no face! Poor bugger....:{

This man is a pilot. So we can't show you his face on this forum. :} :E :}

I stand corrected slackie!

Nevertheless - a very nice lineup!!

Hope you nailed your avalanche - not the easiest things to do nicely.

From Sunday at Avalon..

Bevan..

Hmmm...Jamair you're right about the facelift...that is an improvement.:}

What the **** is that thing trailing smoke above.:confused:

Its somesort of home grown adaptation of a SU-31 I think...

Here is another from yesterday - A Yak-9.

PS2A_yay - hmmm...nailed isn't the description I'm looking for...more like sellotaped!! And don't even mention the unknown!! What could have been...wasn't...thanks to a brain fade and zero!! And Chimbu...we had the pleasure of an old mate of yours (apparently)...

This thread went a bit quiet, and I think its the best thread on all of PPRUNE so here is another one to see who picks it quick. And Mr SQUAWK7700 keep out.......you are privy to too much information young man!!!!:}
