You take care now, Capt Vick; get better soon.

 

[vikingBerserker]

Yea man, hope you feel better!

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Here you go Capt.Vic. Very interesting craft. Thank you for the schooling. And get well soon.

 

[Capt. Vick]

Thanks guys. I really appreciate it. Now it's working it's way through the family.

Now it's working it's way through the family.

What is? That sounds very unsavoury, Capt.

Meanwhile, whilst recovering from whatever it is, here's a pic; might be easy for some.

Ah! It's an aircraft nose wheel!
Think it might be a Sabreliner?

Terry...what have we said about staying up all night under the duvet with a torch while surfing the net !....02.10 indeed !!!

I dont think its a Sabreliner as that looks like a prop tip behind the front wheel, to me, that makes it a twin turbo-prop (possibly ), low...possibly mid ?... wing mounted jobbie with a twin nosewheel setup so that rules out the Kingair / Queenair / Andover type of stuff.

In other words, I don't know so i'll go with a Convair CV440

 

[norab]

F-80 or T-33 ?

 

[nuuumannn]

Close and no.

 

[Geedee]

I'll stick with the Convair theme and raise it from a 440 to a 580

Air Chathams ZK-CIB perchance ?

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

CV5800 CFKFS by Convair?

I see what you've done there Gary... Too easy; must dive into my foreign aviation images...

Too easy ???....Hard graft and countless hours racking the noggin trying to remember what twins I knew. Thought it had to be a 'heavy' of some sort

Have a go at this one

I've seen that photo before.....................................

 

[Geedee]

B*gger !

 

[nuuumannn]

I'm getting a headache looking at the little guy bash himself in the head!

Bleed air tubes leading to a mixer, to which a hose is connected that has a valve of some sort, possibly butterfly that is actuated by lever presumably in the cockpit? The yoke has two grease nipples on it, so actuates something away from the camera; undercarriage? Where on the aircraft is this, Gary?

 

[T Bolt]

Looks like a nose gear compartment to me, but of what I do not know. White gear compartments usually mean Navy, but that's as far as my thinking goes. I'll say A-7 as a wild and completely unsubstantiated guess.

 

[Geedee]

You are looking at a the nose gear of the A/C. It normaly has a cover over what you are looking at.

And sorry, its not an A7

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

You've posted this same photo before, been awhile.

 

[Airframes]

Just a wild guess, but maybe Gary is being sneaky again - perhaps a Pucara ?
