Nope, not a Dornier thingy

I was going to be a mean bastard and only show the vent on the wing (seen center of image) but I decided to be nice and show a bit more...so because of that, no helpful clues will be forthcoming...lmao

Martin Mars ?

 

[T Bolt]

how about an Albatross

 

[Capt. Vick]

short Sunderland or the civi-version?

 

[GrauGeist]

Martin Mars ?

And we have a winner!

You're right, Aaron, it's a U.S. Navy JRM Mars...the Mars Hawaii, to be exact.

Here's a full view:

By the way, this was the image I was going to use originally:

Wayda go Aaron! Funny, I looked at pics of the Mars and passed it off.

The prop is what had me. I knew it had four blades so I kept hunting until I found it. Dave, if you'd have posted that shot you were going to post originally I'd have never even tried. I don't know planes that well. Alright let's try this. This may or may not give some fits.

Navcom in a Cessna L5 'Bird dog'.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Not it.

 

[GrauGeist]

That sure looks like the wing of a Cessna...how about a L-19 (aka O-1)?

 

[norab]

L-19/O-1 Bird Dog/ Cessna 170 ?

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Back to you Dave aka GG!

It's Bryon's L-19 Birddog.

 

[GrauGeist]

That was a great photo, Aaron...and I've spent time in Cessnas, so that made it kind of easy!

Ok then, it's time to get medieval on ya'll!!

 

[Grampa]

The Lockheed P 80 shooting star?

[GrauGeist]

Grampa, that's a great guess, but unfortunately, it's not a P-80!

 

[norab]

T-33

(lost the Bird dog by 1 minute )

 

[GrauGeist]

lol Norab, I saw that a little while later and you certainly would have had it if I didn't...

I feel bad for Grampa, because he was so dang close...yes Norab, it is a Lockheed T-33!

Well done, and good eye to you both!
