Okay here's our next subject. The plane in the foreground, not the C-141 in the distance

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

I've seen one of these before at Langley in Newport New, Va. but I have no idea what the name or model is.

 

[pbfoot]

Honda?

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

I don't think so Neil, the Honda is new and the 141 has been out of service for quite some time now. I could be wrong though.

 

[norab]

not a Honda

 

[norab]

OK a clue or two, It's a twin jet used for military service developed from a civie design

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

C-21A?

 

[norab]

fraid not, here is another clue, it's not a "Cargo" aircraft , ie, C-130, C-141 etc.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

MC12 Liberty.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

35A Learjet.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Lear model 24.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Lear 36A.

 

[norab]

none of the above, It has a military designation and "technically" the design originated in Japan

Hawker 400... or T-1 Jayhawk... Oh crap, if I am correct, I'll have to come up with the next round.

 

[pbfoot]

MU2

 

[norab]

We have a winner. The Raytheon T-1A Jayhawk, original design by Mitsubishi, sold to Hawker,next to Beechcraft and finally manufactured for military service by Raytheon, used by the US airforce and ( Get ready for it) back home to JSDF. Take it away Old Crow
