Um, I said a Wildcat (Quote: Kool Kitty)

Um, yes, sorry... was thinking about Wildcats and Hellcats and decided it was probably the latter...In which case I DISagreed with your comment - but you were right in the end! ...I'll just keep quiet and go back to my corner now...someone pass me another beer? :) :)
 
Hello pbfoot,

what makes you think that it might not be a Transall C-160. Could it be that you took these photos in May-June 2006?

The a/c color scheme on your photos indicates a French Transall C-160, and they had a couple of these during Maple Flag 2006 and 2005 at Cold Lake Air-Weapons-Range training with the 441 and 416 Tactical Fighter Squadron of 4 Wing. (I heard one of them is now called 409 Tactical Squadron?).

Second try.

Fairey Flycatcher. Here's my model of it. About 24" span, Skatty motor, 360 squares at 17 oz.

Looks somewhat like a Bf 108, but the gear (inwar insteas of outward), the tail and rear canopy are wrong.

Also a little like the Bu 181


But it's got an air cooled inverted V (not a 4-6 cylinder inverted inline), either V-8, or V-12. Argus As 10, 410, 411, or Hirth Hm 508 or Hm 512.
